It appears you believe that the GP solenoid is somehow interconnected with the starter motor. It is not. The relay that activates the starter motor is located behind the dash next to the ash tray.
The component on the firewall behind the engine is the voltage dropping resistor bank. It is connected in series with all of your glow plugs. 24 volts flows through it when the glow plug solenoid clicks on. Smoke from it means it got oily.
