Glow PLug #7 Failure, new plug didn't do it!

Hey,

So my engine threw a code for Glow plug #7 just recently. I prepared myself with new glow plugs and a valve cover gasket to do only the side with the bad glow plug. I've got two questions:

Cyl #7 is in fact on the driverside correct?

And...

After installing new glow plugs on the driverside and clearing the code, the code came back. I obviously didn't fix the problem so are there tests I can run on the harness? voltage test maybe? I assume it's either the glow plug/injector harness or whatever that's connected to.

Thanks!

All odd number cylinders are on the passenger side.
This is the firing order as viewed from the left hand drive driver's seat.
2-1
4-3
6-5
8-7
