I am reading there are two ways to install the manual glow plug override. Is this true?
The first way the glow plug wait light still works and the second way the gp wait light works when the key is turned, but does not work when you push the manual button.
I guess the logical next question is if a person installs the manual gp override the first way (by removing the light blue wire and connecting it directly to the manual switch), will he have to use the manual override every time he starts the vehicle?
My brother and I did the mod today and we used the second way by splicing the light blue wire. I tested the manual switch after the key turned gp wait light went out and heard chatter like it was working.
First way from the forum:

Seconds way from the forum:the manual switch. all you need to do is take the blue wire that plugs into the glow plug controller harness (under the dash by the brake pedal) and run it to a button switch, then ground the other side of the switch. If you do it this way then the wait light will still come on as normal.
when installing the push button do you unhook the blue wire from the card and leave the card in our just wire to existing blue wire
I am so confused...Leave it hooked to the card, just splice into it with another wire
