The SL600 has a bit of wear on the driver bolster where you slide in and

polish might touch it up.
The vinyl door top part where you rest your arm is also a bit worn, was

I'd guess that shoe polish will not soak into the vinyl, and WILL rub off
onto your arm or sleeve. It doesn't last very long on shoes, why do you
think it will on the seat? Use die, that's what it's made for. Use vinyl

The OP has shared offlist that the pre-glow relay was replaced back in
December IIRC.
At this point, however, given the number of less-than-qualified hands that

Replace the test lamp with a cheap multimeter (free from Harbor Freight
sometimes) in the current measuring mode (amps). the current value is
easier top read than how bright the bulb in the test light is. If the
current is really too high, it will fry the multimeter, but it was cheap
remember, and
There is no need to monitor brightness, if there's any light at all you have a
problem.
And it sucks to destroy a tool that you're using, no matter how cheap it was.
Then
you need a new tool, _and_ you need to fix your original problem.

Autozone, for one, will test an alternator for free if you remove it and
bring it in. Not sure what they do if it's installled in the car. These

You can test the battery at home (at least somewhat) by watching what the
voltage does while you crank. IIRC 10.x volts is okay anything less is a fail.
I bought a meter that plugs into the 12v outlet, it also provides 2 usb ports.

They have a diagnostic system they connect at the battery to look at charging
voltage, starter draw, etc., etc. It prints out the results on a little built
in thermal printer. It’s pretty cool.

It's the lift gate on the wagon that is the known leaker. Never had an issue
with the passenger doors that I know of.
Rear fixed wagon side widows also leak when you get rust in the channels, but
puddles in the third seat footwell are almost always the liftgate gasket,

The rear door gasket is a known issue. Replace it while you can still get one!
I need to do this with mine, when parked level or nose down it gets water in
the third seat well, and in the door latch. Parked nose up, even a little,
bone dry.
The gasket leaks around the upper corners, I think.

but was not as good as I could have been. The original was black Tex. Tan

I have the OE seals sitting on the shelf with the gooey OE sealant. Two are

I was thinking that if you left your test light on for a few minutes you could
get past that bootup stage.
Do you think if you used a fairly large bulb you could use brightness as an
indicator of draw?
If our primary thought is that the glow plug relay is at fault that would be a
pretty hefty
Power antennas can cause issues also, IIRC.
