Just recently the starter engages again on its own about 20-30 seconds after you start the excursion. I have replaced the solonoid on the fender, the starter and the ignition switch. I have wired another switch in to kill the power to the starter after i start the vehicle so i do not ruin the fly wheel. Two brand new batteries. The battery light stays on and flickers. The truck died last night because the truck is running on batteries. Tested the alternator and it passed all tests at the shop. What is left?
