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. Actually this is better anyway because you can push the button down and wait a couple of seconds for the glow plug to get hot, and then crank the engine. That's what I did when I lost the keys to my tractor and priced the switch from Ford. I just used the switch out of an old car. 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. That way you won't be cranking the engine and wasting battery power, because it won't start anyway until the diesel lites in the manifold.
