If that solenoid is one that you added you could add a couple protective diodes to allow either the MOSFETS or the new switch to control the glow plugs giving you a manual backup system.
Mogman is right, the glow plugs are powered thru MOSFETs on the circuit board.
I wonder if that solenoid is the reverse battery polarity protection? I know there was one in the earlier boxes.
