You are correct again, Herr Doktor and Tom and Mr. Jim and Hendrik and Kevin
and Johnny B. I put the new battery in and the instant I landed the positive
cable I heard the servo go to its happy place. It started instantly and
easily. I'm sure the buzzing beneath the dash I heard last night was
probably the glow plug relay trying to do its thing.
Thanks men. As the kids say, "You ROCK!"

98% it's a bad battery.
I agree that the "bad" battery MAY result from many other things (servo,
some other electrical device stuck on, or even a corroded terminal). If
the battery IS more than 5 years old, replace it anyway (or soon) even
if the trouble is something else.
