Search backwards on the big fat wire that leads to your glow plugs. It will
lead you to a little (1.5") box. Inside that box is a 70 amp strip fuse held
by two screws. Yours is blown.

Buy two at the dealer, install one, and throw the second in your glub box.
They last a few years, then cause these exact symptoms. Also, get your
expensive relay back from the shop, there is probably nothing wrong with it. :
