Anybody ???

sounds like a BIG short. Maybe look at the starter, and or battery cables and such.

Recently I had a battery go dead from a light on. Could not jump start
without sparks all over. Trying to charge the battery made the charge act crazy until finally it started to charge. I have seen batteries charge backwards also, reverse polarity...
Low battery will make a lot of things go wacky also..

all the arcing could have been caused by having some broken plates in the battery. Had that happen once battery wouldn't take a charge but showed charged arced everywhere no start. when I did get it started battery BLEW UP......just sayin.
