Take the leads off all of the glow plugs and test them one at the time.
Read the resistance , there has to be some, if it is zero, that plug is toast!.Look at the fuse and see what size it is. Electrical circuits are fuse 50% above the working amps. 10 amp circuit 15 amp fuse.
The glow plugs should not be drawing the battery down as much as you describe.
Ohms law states that E = I x R. E= volts; I= amps; R=resistance. If you have a 30a fuse for the circuit you should be drawing about 20 amps. 12V / 20A = .06 ohms would be the total circuit resistance.If you have six glow plugs that means
1 ohm each.

Thanks Guido,
The leads where all disconnected when I tested the plugs. There's no fuse, there is a breaker though. It's never kicked as far as I know.
It's weird that they're all gone, especially when they're all new.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
