You don't jump on anything. You let the data give you the answers.
In your case, you get a voltmeter and put the positive lead on the tip of one of the glow plugs. The negative lead goes to the battery. Then, you get a helper to turn the key to the #2 position. Read the voltmeter and see if you have approx. 12V.
