Glow plug test

I came across a post here somewhere that suggested using a 12 volt test light connected to the positive (yes thats + ) side of the battery and contacting each glow plug on tthe top connector with the wire removed. if it lights, its good. I found one on mine that was missed with the ohms test. it makes a big difference in how it starts when they all light up!
