Found some new information about this stupid problem. If the battery is disconnected for at least 5 minutes (giving time for everything to discharge), then you hook up the battery, its normal. However, depending on how long you let it discharge for, it would start doing it again. What device "holds" a charge or triggers a switch to letting enough current through to crank the starter? My dad took a bunch of miscellaneous relays and "black boxes" from the junkyard last week. I wanna try and figure out more before i start "plugging and praying"
