Sure, your ohmeter will check them for you! They will look like a short if they are good, and open if they are bad. Just disconnect the wire(s) to the glow plug(s) first. You could also take your test light used to check for hot circuits and use it backwards to check them. Just hook the ground clip to battery Positive (+) terminal, and when you touch ground with the probe, the light will come on. Again, disconnect the glow plug wire(s) and touch the probe to the glow plug contact. If it is good, the light will come on. One disclaimer... if your test light is a solid state diode light, you may have to reverse the leads to get a light.
