Ive been noticing the new m1008 has been giving me some glow plug issues, or so I believe.

Issue 1- The Wait light comes on when its cold prior to starting as it should, but it also does another cycle after I start the engine. What gives? it didnt do this before.

Issue 2- This morning I couldnt get it to fire up, on the 3rd try I jumped the GP relay, which is probably not oem and undersized to get a clean start out of it. The relay was clunking but I suspect burnt internal contacts, will get voltage readings in the am.

Issue 1: GP cycling after start is normal, wait light coming on after start is not normal.

Issue 2: If jumpering around the GP relay lets it start normally then chances are good the relay is indeed toast.
