1988 ford bronco ii eddie Bauer 4x4 2.9 cologne
So i just left autozone for a part for my van, and i tried to start my bronco, but the battery seemed dead, so i pull out my battery jumper, and it comes on, but its making a horrible noise, so i turn off the ignition and take out the keys, and it stays on, still making the horrible noise. It eventually turn off, but like 5 minutes later while I’m inspecting the engine bay, it try’s to turn on again, keys out of the ignition, shuts off. I’m super confused about it, i got it on and working again as soon as my buddy shows up, no issue, so i drive down the street, hit a bump and it starts making a noise as if the starter is stuck, i park and pull out the key, and it STILL is running making this god awful sound, till i hear a hard thunk and it shuts off. Then i get nothing, but power, no turn over, I buy a new battery(which i needed anyway)checked all the fuses, still nothing. Thinking my starter just broke, i jumper the starter solenoid, and the engine starts to turn over, change that out, doesnt start till i battery jump it. Why and how do i prevent it from starting on its own, these past couple weeks its been struggling to start, as if the battery is drained when it used to fire up right away
