Application Details
Compatible With 2001-2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, relay only. This Standard Ignition RY-1666 relay cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 904-100 for the same application. It also aligns with related aftermarket references including Four Seasons 20735.
In diesel starting systems, the glow plug relay controls power delivery to the glow plugs so the engine can reach the temperature needed for startup. On a GMC Sierra 2500 HD, a worn relay can interrupt that circuit and affect cold-start performance, especially in lower temperatures.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Hard starting during cold weather
- Glow plugs not receiving power
- Intermittent relay operation
- Extended cranking before engine start
- Electrical faults in the glow plug control circuit
Installation Notes
Verify the connector style, terminal layout, and 12-volt specification before installation. This relay uses a square 4-pin male connector with blade terminals and does not include a mounting bracket. Confirm the vehicle is a 2001-2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD and that the repair callout is relay-only before replacing the part.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition manufactures this relay in certified TS16949 and ISO9001 facilities, with composite housing, aluminum contacts, and epoxy protection selected to support consistent electrical performance in demanding under-hood environments.
