Have a problem with blowing out the glowplug relay on my 99 powerstroke.
Replaced it last Thursday, and it is out again today. I know of one two
others who have experienced this issue, they have resorted to starting with
ether. Fine in a pinch, but not my long term choice of solutions. It is
fairly evident that the control coil is getting fried, but the question is
why? The replace ment coil was not a Ford part, but one from NAPA. Would
like to know before I drop another $50-$70 on another solenoid.

Hi. Go over to "thedieselstop.com" and ask this question. I'd bet they
know all about it.
