follow the glowplug wire in the engine bay to the black box on the firewall, there is a 50a (or 60a I forget) amp fuse in there. If that is fine try removing the coolant temp sensor wire and then using the key, it may be reading that the engine is warm enough to not need glow plugs

i carry a spare one of these fuses in my glove box, they tend to blow at the worst times, stupid things are like $4 each at the dealer.

Where is this temp sensor?

I'm not positive about the GTDs but on the north american ones it's 1 of the 2 on the coolant flanges on the head, usually between cylinders #3 and #4
