RE: M1009 won Replacing it with the glow plug relay is the way to go from what I've heard. It can handle the amperage much better.

RE: M1009 won Got the problem solved. I replaced the starter and it started right up but on a second try, it wouldn't start. I pulled the relay and jumped the wires and it fired right up. Looks like the relay was bad but I also had burnt contacts on the female side where the relay plugs in...
