Replaced glow plugs, still no glow plug light

I thought I'd tested the glow plug system pretty well from Diesel Giant's link. #2 and #5 came up with weird numbers when I tested them, so I figured those were the culprits.

I've FINALLY managed to get the old glow plugs out and the new ones in. Turned the key to see the glory of my work and ..... nothing. No glow plug light, and the car won't start normally (I'm sure if I crank it enough it will finally start).

We tested the relay pins again, and all getting good numbers on everything. Battery is giving plenty of juice, as recommended. Still, no glow plugs. This car has no fuse, so it's not the fuse. (resettable circuit breaker) Maybe that's bad?

Any ideas?
