False SERVICE ENGINE SOON light for glow plug

2000 Excursion with 100,000 miles. Light was coming on and giving a code that # 6 glow plug was bad. Made a post and several recommended I replace all of them at this point. Put 8 new plugs in (from Ford). A few days afterwards it started throwing the same code. Could something be making # 6 glow plug to burn out or is it likely a false signal (and maybe never had a problem to begin with)?

Re: False SERVICE ENGINE SOON light for glow plug

When my Ex hit around 5000 miles, the check engine light came on. The dealer said that the code indicated that there was a bad glow plug relay but they tested it and nothing seemed wrong. Reset the computer and I was on my way. Came on again, back to dealer, said same thing and actually replaced #2 glow plug relay. Reset computer and on my way. Light came on again (3 more times like this) dealer finally replace the #2 glow plug and I have not had the check engine light back on for 30,000 miles.
