How long was the screwdriver used as the fuse(seconds/entire glow cycle/etc)? You smell any burnt plastic afterwords? If one of the glow plugs was indeed shorted (sounds reasonable) you just ran a LOT of juice through that GP wire and the relay. That could have fried your old relay, and some wiring, or maybe not.... but I would investigate.
