Question Glow plug(s) or pre-glow timer relay problem?

The glow plug light stopped working a couple days ago, but the car still starts (hard) after waiting for the normal several seconds.
So yesterday after doing a search on here and reading the Haynes manual, I went to check the glow plugs. The Haynes manual and previous posts said to unplug the plug connector at the relay, connect the ohmmeter to ground and each of the numbered glow plug terminals. I should get a 12V or infinity reading, but I got zero for all five . I checked the strip fuse and it has current on both sides. Just for the hell of it I connected each of the terminals to one of the screws that holds the strip fuse in place and got readings for all but one of the terminals (middle one of the left row). With the glow plug connecter at the relay unplugged the glow plug light goes on and off like nothing is wrong. Is this normal? I didn't try to start the car with the connecter unplugged figuring it wouldn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
