Use a test light across the glow plugs, not a digital volt meter.
How would you do that?

a 12 volt bulb like a turn signal bulb, one lead to a glow plug, the other to ground. Test the brightness of the bulb on the battery first, then watch the brightness across the glow plugs when glowing, it should be slightly dimmer. If it is very faint, then you have battery or connection problems.

Tape the lead to a long screwdriver or long rod (no electrical contact to the screw driver).
