Right, I realized that I could just pull the plug on the relay to do the
resistance test, but have not sat down to do it yet.  Will get on it
shortly.  I have discovered that the relay does work, though; it clicks
pretty loud about 15 seconds after turning the key on.  After doing
three cycles on the relay, I turned the key to start and it started
right up.  So, it seems that some number of glow plugs are working
adequately.  I just didn't have the desire to actually disconnect each
of the glowplugs from their leads as it was getting dark and my hands
are bigger than that.  It's too bad I realized that testing from the
plug side would yield the same effect...  ;)
