Here's the story, jeep hasn't ran for couple months, went to start it the other day to move it out of garage, it was dead, jumped it, moved it out of garage, tried starting again, just click click, click, I figured battery was gone as this is the same one I left lights on for a week last year, everyone said wouldn't come back, but it did, been fine for the year. I was all ready to go get new battery and figured I would put the meter on it to make sure, it was 11.96, that sounds like a fully charged bat. to me, so I replaced the solinoid, thinking that was it. On first start up, when I turned the key to on there was a buzzing for about 10 seconds, about as long as it took me to put gas to floor twice to choke it, anyway started fine, drove it up and down road, and parked in driveway, shut it off and restarted it fine. Today when I went to start it, it went click, click, click, then started, but started didn't stop starting, I turned the key to off, still running and starter still starting, daughter yells turn it off, I hold up key to her!!, so I stick it back in and turn it to start again and it stops the starter, so I move the jeep to where I wanted it, start it 2 times fine, so what the hell was that???????
