What exactly is wrong with your system?

In theory your setup would work, although I'm not sure about the light.

It takes a ground to make the light work, and you need a ground for the relay, put relay and light wire on one side of your 2 pole push button,the other side you need to run wire to good ground, that will energized your relay and your light wii come on at the same time you puss the button. I need to know if someone can tell me a better way.

Why do you need a light to tell you that you are pushing the button?

If the button sticks the light will stay on and you probaly will spend about 75BUCKS for a new set of glow plugs unless you get it off in time.
