yeah. it deff sounds like a loose ground. because the buzzer button could make it short if the ground was loose or dirty. start the jeep. then push the button in by hand. i had kinda the same problem once. so i just wire brushed all my grounds. and by terminal cables. and it seemed to work aight.

I was having a similiar issue with mine, Found out their is an ignition wire running down the back of the block to the solenoid that seems to be the problem, It comes out of the plastic harness and rubs up against the engine, once i move it off the engine it seems to work ok. Only happens when the engine is cold though it seems
