My glowplugs quit working yesterday.

The dash indicator light doesn’t work, either. The engine still starts after an overnight cool-down with only 2 or 3 cranks, a tribute to good pump timing I guess. It runs rough for several seconds and then goes to regular idle speed.

I’ve checked the 80A fuse (replaced last year) and it still looks good. Where do I check next? Please advise.
