can a relay be tested?

The turn signals on my '84 300D stopped working the other night. Fuses are OK, bulbs are OK so I'm starting to dig a bit deeper.

The hazard flasher switch is definitely broken - that wasn't working prior to the turn signal failure, a replacement is on route but since that wasn't working and the turn signals were I don't think replacing that switch will bring back the turn signal.

The relay seems like the next logical step here. Since both the left and right signals failed at the same time I kinda doubt the switch is the problem, of course it could be a short somewhere...

My wallet protest mightily when I start buying new components in the guessing game diagnostic system. Does anyone know of a way to test a relay? Can I meter it somehow?
