As Marshall would say - always replace the fuse.
Sometimes that aluminum strip fuse looks fine, but crumbles
when you unscrew the terminals.

That's the relay's way of telling you that the glow plugs don't all draw
the same current. Last time it happened to me ('79 300SD) the plugs were
good but the battery was weak. Put in a new group 49 and the light stayed

GP's are all new, but three have gone out in a few months and have
been replaced.
I'm confused. The GP's are only a few months old and you've already

GP relay might be powering the GP's when the engine is running,
or you have

power at the glow plugs and the dash light? I would check those things
as a start. Also check if you get power at one or both poles of the fuse
