    sounds to me like you have mixed your ignition supply into the relay with your comon supply.

    When the relay engages (switched ignition on) a light wired in parellel from that is engergised on your control display.

    In your case, when you de-energise the supply the contactor is making and thus switching the light on.

    I would check with the ignition off to see if you have any power to the bus bar connecting to the glow plugs...............

    BE CAREFUL NOT TO SHORT YOUR TEST LEADS ONTO THE HEAD as you will blow the supply fuse.

    If they are dead even though the light is still on inside you have crossed the light connection from the relay to the dash..

    Hope that makes a little sense.
