Glow plug light off, doesn't feel like they're working. 87 300D

I've been having this issue very intermittently. It has me a little stumped

Here's what's happening:
  1. Insert key
  2. Turn to glow position (all typical lights on, except glow light).
  3. Attempt to crank (almost no response, no stumbling, etc).
Here's what usually happens:

  1. Insert key.
  2. Glow.
  3. Crank.
  4. Car starts (might stumble for a second or two if it's around 40F).
I think I may have a glow plug out because it sometimes stumbles slightly for a few seconds when I start on the the colder mornings, however, this current problem is like the glow plugs aren't even working.

Is this a relay issue? Control issue?

Unfortunately, my DMM is at work...is there anything I can visually check? Corrosion, cracked fuse, etc? Any ideas as to why it'd behave like this?
