Sounds to me you might have some corrosion in the starter circuit. Check all the battery, ignition, and starter wires for tight and clean connections. Do you hear a click when you try starting without glow plugs?

Normally, I start the engine by turning on the key, hitting the glow plug button for 30 seconds and then hitting the start button. Never been a problem there. Both times that this has happened, the engine was already warm and I just turned the key on, hit the start button and got no response. Tried again a few seconds later and it started up fine both times. Is it possible that something needs a few seconds to power up after turning the key on (solenoid?)? I don’t remember this being an issue in the past, but it is not often I start the engine by just turning the key and pushing start. My start battery is a 10 year old AGM and has had no trouble cranking the engine in general, even after warming the glow plugs for 45 seconds.
