2005 GMC Sierra when i put in the accessory position to wait for glow plug indicator

When i try to start truck and put it in the accessory position on ignition it tries to start instead of being in accessory position. Is the starter going bad? Battery?

These types of problems can be tricky. I don't think starter or battery is the issue, based on what you described.
It sounds like you are using the wrong terminology--the "accessory" position is when you turn the key toward the driver; the first click toward the dashboard is the "ON/RUN" position and the last, spring-loaded position is the START position. So it sounds like the car tries to start when it's only in the ON/RUN position.
