Default Glow starter problems!!!! please help.

[:@][:@] Out running my revo today, no problems.... I shut the truck off to refuel it and I get that done. I slap the glow starter back on it and check the guage on te glow starter it said 0 so I figured the plug was bad. So I replaced the plug with a brand new one. and same thing. I checked it with about 5 other glow plugs I know are good. and same thing. But I put it on the charger and it says it's charging. weird I even used my Volt meter to check it it was putting out any power and it read 0. Something going on with it that I don't know about???

it's a dynamite. paid $25 for it. came with a wall charger. I can't get the casing open, I haven't tried to open it yet but it looks sealed to me. I'm going to try to take it back tomorrow to see if they will replace it. It's only about 2 weeks old.
