Hi TDK, yes I remember you burned up a $40 indicator. After examinig your last voltage readings, there is nothing to indicate that the glow plugs are damaged.
We had a B414,434,384 from 1962 thru to 1994
and they are all the same BD154 engine. The only one we had glow plug problems with was the B414.
The first problem happened when the indicator had a cracked element, then another time I think it was #2 shorted out and then it burn out #3 and another time one went open and none of them worked.

Regarding your first new indicator going up in a flash in a couple of seconds, I would suspect a rubbed thru short on the black wire that connects the indicator to #4 GP or a faulty indicator element. One shorted GP would only cause it to heat in 3/4 of the normal time.

A faulty indicator element shouldn't happen in today's automated testing of electrical components but years ago it wasn't uncommon to replace a household light buld turn on the power switch and have a flash bulb.

Hope this helps
