Yes, and no. Perfectly safe to use ON THE JOINTS, which are not

I found the following "can" type capacitors:

"ready spare" reserve.
I'm not skilled enough to ID a bad solder joint by visual inspection unless it

came on while I was driving, and stayed on until I disconnected both plugs from
the relay. Since then, the relay only works about 2 of every 3 tries.
All the glow plugs test fine (measuring current).
