To answer your question:
The most likely cause of your problem is a bad key switch or failing glow plug relay.
You can open the glow plug relay and check the contactor points, if they are badly burnt, it may be possible to clean them with a file.

I think he closed it intentionally. He left the same thread open on the Tech forum...

(but your advice is right on)

There is a timer in the GP relay that keeps the GP energized for about 45 seconds. Possibly that circuit is not working properly and not keeping the GP turned on.
