I would not jump from the battery to the glow plugs for fear of burning them out if left on to long. You said the glow plug light on the dash comes on, does it stay on continuously or go out after a short period of time ? That indicates to me that their is a relay in the system to prevent burning out the glow plugs. If the light cycles off and on take a test light and check the wire at each glow plug for power. If their is power present at each you can test each one by unhooking the connection and with a test light attached to the battery touch the tip of the glow plug. It should light the test light, if the test light doesn't come on the plug is bad. If you have no power at any of the glow plugs , trace the wire back to the key switch to find the broken wire and fix it.
One important thing often over looked is the battery, just because their is a higher reading than 12 volts, it may still not produce enough amperage to do the job of heating the glow plugs and have enough to start the engine.
