Betcha it's a capacitor -- or maybe a diode -- across the relay coil -- to reduce chatter or spikes upstream.

this is it back on the new glow plug relay. what im wondering about is the resistor next to the red wire... 
It's not a resistor. In that pic it looks VERY much like a diode, which is a good thing to have across the relay coil -- prevents a back surge when the relay opens.
Leave it be, you'll be fine.
