Try the following:

Wait normal glow time then cycle the key all the way off and back to glow, do you get a light then?

Also:
Brutal start this morning. only 33F :(
This thread is mine and I had almost spot on the same symptoms you are describing. One bad plug was the issue (#4 for me)
A good way to test the plugs in-block is as follows:
Unplug the harness from the relay,
Measure block to threaded tip on each GP, should read ~1 ohm each.
Then measure block to each conductor in the relay plug you removed, should get nominally the same reading.
