Ok, a little more information. The glow cycle timing (in terms of length), indicated by the glow light, has always seemed to be a little short (by at least a couple of seconds). Typically if it's warm out, it might be off within 3 seconds, cold, off within 6 (rough guesses).

I've usually ignored the light itself and given it a couple more seconds beyond what they light has indicated... Does this point at the relay?

I'm gonna take a look at the strip fuse a little more closely, but it looks like it's more or less in one piece.
