That was my immediate thought as well.
If there is power to the solenoid, it should try to kick in unless the
solenoid is bad.
Unfortunately, with diesels of this vintage (at least on mine) you can't
just turn the key on and off a few times to see if it catches.
When the solenoid contacts were going bad on our 4Runner, I could get it
to go like that. Flip the key back and forth and it would catch - the
down side was that the cold start injector would fire too so there was a
bit of smoke on start up.
I know with my car, if I turn the key off, I have to start over again so
I cannot just flip the key back on quickly.

If you have B+ at the solenoid wire then it should work when you reconnect the
wire to the solenoid - unless the solenoid has a problem.

Okay...glow light comes on again. So now it's one issue....nothing when key
is turned to start position. Get all the correct dash lights, have power in
the wire going from ignition switch to solenoid when key is in start
position. All voltage readings are correct on everything. Everything is
tight and clean. ....I'm at a loss. Ideas?
