Glow plugs won’t click off and won’t crank.

I’ve been having this problem off and on since I’ve owned my delica. Wondering if the cold is making the symptoms worse since it hasn’t happened once over the summer.
I’ll turn the key till I hear the usual 1st click, wait for the second click, and it never happens. Then if I turn the key all the way to crank it, nothing happens, interior lights and everything have power.
Then typically if I just try a lot, or jiggle the wire mess for then dual batteries around, it’ll eventually start like normal.
It’s aleays the two happening together. I haven’t had the glow plugs click on and off and have it not start, it’s only when the glow plugs don’t click off, that it won’t crank over.
Any ideas? I’ve had my shop take a look at it multiple times, they’ve cleaned connections and checked grounds and couldn’t find anything else. Since it only happens maybe 1 in 20 starts it’s hard to have a shop actually resolve it. Cause it’ll just start right up most the time
