glow plug light flashing 16d jx

I have a problem with the glow plug light flashing continuosly, also the large relay in the engine compartment is clicking as well, if I take the power supply lead off the first plug and put my tester on it the light stays on as normal and the relay stays on for normal amount of time, but as soon as I reconnect the problem starts again, anyone got any ideas

Try another relay.

tried a new relay still the same, I was wondering if it had something to do with the temperature sender switch just above as this signals how long the glow plugs should stay on for, or am I barking up the wrong tree

Isnt ther another relay at the front end which the sender goes to? Try the cheaper option first..! Good luck!!

got it sorted today loose connection in fuse box
now the starter wont kick in tried hittting with hammer and also starting with clutch depressed still nothing, its never ending, I only need it to move the van as I am doing an engine change in about two weeks from 16 d to 19d 1y engine, I was wondering if I can use the starter off the donor car as I have the full engine.
