Good To Know
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing glow plug relay? A: Typical symptoms include slow cranking, white smoke upon startup, or a no-start condition in cold weather. A faulty relay may also click repeatedly or show signs of melting or corrosion.
Q: Is this relay the same as the one for 6.0L engines? A: No, the 7.3L and 6.0L Power Stroke engines use different glow plug relay designs and part numbers. This specific relay is only for the 7.3L engine in 94-03 models.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
