Is my new relay mounted backwards?

[a68cudas]

Hello I forgot to take pics of old one before removing it. Can anyone let me know if i mounted the new one incorrectly? or correctly? I have attached pic of how i installed . want to make sure its not backwards or upside down before starting. Thanks

I can only see one of the two small terminals in your picture. So, I cannot confirm your connections are correct.

Physical position of the relay does not matter.

Where is the other small terminal? That does look like an isolated ground solenoid. It should look like this.....

While we can't see for sure where the small pink wire is mounted due to the flash, it does look like it is wired correctly.

large terminal - large red wire
small terminal - small pink wire
small terminal - small light blue wire
large terminal - two large orange wires, one small orange wire

And for clarification for other members, his truck has had the 12v glow plug resistor bank bypass done.

How the relay is mounted does not make a difference. You have it wired correctly.

As long as it's not upside down mounting it sideways doesn't matter.

Mounting it upside down may cause premature we are in the top spring allowing it to contact when not supposed to.

And this is a solenoid, not a relay. Solenoid activates differently than a standard relay.
