hi jim ,
the togle is for run , when you first start the unit . seat belt , turn switch to run , turn key one click to the right ,wait for the heater timer to beep , after it counts down , and then start .
after your done turn the switch to service , or off , this will saves the battery too.
the spring loaded button is for glow plugs . use them when the unit has not been run for a while , like over nite , or when its real cold , -5 c and colder .

I think the seat belt/switch curcit stays hot even with the ignition off. When you switch the service on it locks out the seat belt curcit.Thats why you can start in service without the seat belt.
I would check the wires and switches under the seat for somthing rubbing thru the insulation or a bad switch.
If its not draining in service mode it could be because the curcit is off in service mode. Thats all I can think of. Mike
