Can you turn the switch to the left? Take the switch out and use a voltmeter to understand how it works and then wire the glow plug to the terminal that turns on when the key is turned to the left. If someone has put in a switch that is different they probably wired it wrong. Rather then buy a new key switch which is expensive, just buy a button switch that you can hold down while you crank the engine.

When you buy a new glow plug, before you put it in, put the juice to it and count the seconds before it turns red.
