I mashed the glow plug button in preparation to start and the ignition turned off.
Shore power was off. I plugged it in and the engine started normally. Unplugged again. (No idea if actions are related.)
After the ignition turned itself off a few more times when glow plugs were engaged by their separate solenoid, the starter motor burped once.
Next try, the engine started normally. After warming up, it started numerous times without incident. The cockpit panel wiring is in good shape, all grounds firm. The batteries are at 100 percent. This has never happened before.
Why would the glow plug button turn the ignition off at the panel?
