Glow Plug Light Not Working

My light for the glow plug controller is not working.. I just changed my batteries and it was working prior to that. I changed the bulb but nothing. I can see the glow plugs are cycling because the voltmeter rocks as they cycle. Any answers to this problem.

Check your fuse panel and see if there is a fuse for the glow plug light.

other things

there is a fusable link. you can check if it blew out by measuring resistance from the GP light connector at the back off the relay to the GP light in the dash. The other possibility is that the light bulb may not be making a good connection in the holder. this was my problem. the bulb needed to have the prongs pushed out to make a connection in the holder. easy to check with a VOM. take out the holder with the bulb and measure resistance accross the two prongs outside the holder that make the connection on the PC board traces when the holder is twisted in.
