• Glow Plug Relay Location? by dr_dirtg on 22 Aug, 2007 15:41
• I tried searching, I didnt' find a direct answer.
  
  Could someone please tell me Where is the Glow Plug Relay located?
  This is for a 1994 Golf TD
  Is it under the steering wheel in the fuse box? If so, which relay is it? I don't have my fuse box plastic plate/cover so I can't tell.
  
  I bought a new glow plug relay and it has 2 terminals that are biger than any of the relays in my fuse box... did they sell me the wrong glowplug relay?
  
  Thanks,
  Appreciate it.
  
  Edit: Add Picture of the relay I purchased:

• That mate, is not a glow plug relay - the glow plug relay has 2 fat terminals, 2 regular ones and two very slim ones for the dash led and temp sensor
  
  the relay you show is more like a horn relay from an opel

• Pretty sure the picture you're showing is the load-reduction or "X" relay... glow plug relay is much bigger and has many many more pins.
