300D Glow system

My 79 300D had all new glow plugs, etc, about 3 years ago. This is a vehicle that rarely gets driven. I started it the other day and moved it. A few minutes later it would not start again. I noticed that the glow plug light on the dash does not light up now, and the car will not start. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Joe

Clean the battery cable connections. If the problem persists, clean the other ends of the cables. Let us know if this doesn't solve the problem.

I checked the battery cables, but there was no corrosion to speak of. I cleaned them just the same... but no luck. The lights, etc, on the vehicle are working just fine, so it is getting power. Any other suggestions?

How about fuses for the flow plugs, are they good?

Yep... All fuses are fine. I also tried turning it on and letting the glow system warm for about 45 seconds incase just the indicator light was out. No luck there either. I am at a complete loss.
