The glow plug terminals on the glow plug you read about twelve volts on will be the open or burnt out glow plug or source of a bad connection.
I'm sorry if I'm a bit dense. Electric stuff to me is like magic. Using the voltmeter I measure according to Diesel911's picture below - on the squiggly connectors on each side of respective glow plug. But are you saying 12 volts will distinguish a burnt out glow plug while NOT glowing? I'm not entirely positive, but I don't think it normally has any voltage over it unless I flip the switch? Or is that how they always work?
