Eric,
Here is a repost of a recent message from TCasey on
how add a manual switch for the glow plugs.
If your wiring is still in the original configuration,
this is how to install a manual glow plug switch:
Remove the LIGHT BLUE wire from its terminal on the
glow plug relay. Run a new wire from this terminal to
your new manual switch, and then to GROUND. That's
all there is to it. When you turn your ignition switch
to RUN, you should have 12V at the PINK/BLACK wire on
the relay. When you press your manual switch, this
completes the circuit to ground, and the glow plug
relay should energize. 15-20 seconds should be all you
need for a cold engine. You shouldn't need it at all
for a warm engine.
Pretty simple, and it saves a lot of headache with the
failure prone original control system.
