Might me the ignition switch. Has anything else been happening like other electrical issues.... Might be the controller or a short too. Check the wires from the fender solenoid to the glow plug controller. Hopefully its not the controller going out. That can kill all the plugs and if they are autolites they may be difficult removing.... Don't allow this problem to continue too long...
