The glow plug relay on a 1985 Mercedes 300D is located under the hood on the driver side in the front corner. It is a black box with a black plastic cover on it. If you take the cover off, you can see a metal fuse-able link (a small metal strip that is actually a fuse). If that fuse is burned out, boom there is the problem. The fuse itself can be changed. The relay can also fail internally and it is common to burn up glow plugs when it fails, although that is not the only symptom.
