You can 'see if juice is coming out of the relay' by using an ammeter or a clip on current probe to monitor the current delivered when the plugs are activated. The plugs should initially draw about 15-20 amps and will taper down to about 7-8 amps after 20-30 seconds of operation.

I noticed you are using a WVO kit - you know WVO and cold weather don't mix very well?
