The glower relay itself and it's associated controller don't have fuses as such. Each glow plug has a fusible link (which is similar) but you wouldn't know to check this if the 'Wait to Start' or 'Glow Plug' light was lit as normal. Troubleshooting a bad glow controller is a little more complex and you need to verify that the plugs themselves are OK first.
