While I was getting the air out, I noticed something looked "off". I tugged on the wires and it turns out the glow plug controller relay is broken. I can get one from Walt for $69.99.
Three questions. First, is there something that causes this to happen that I need to address?
Second, I am not a mechanic but it looks like it shouldn't be difficult to remove and replace, or will I need to tow it to a shop?
Third, It has been a while but the last time I plugged in the glow plug warmer it caused the circuit breaker in the garage to pop. I assume it is related to the broken glow plug relay. Do I need to do something to avoid messing up the new glow plug relay?
