Ever since I bought my astro (used), the starter occasionally will give a single click instead of turning over. If I just turn the key off and try again, it will eventually work. I'm not worried about that.
Recently, however, something different has been happening. When I turn the key to "start", sometimes I'll get rapid-fire clicking for as long as I hold the key in that position. It doesn't sound like the same clicking from the starter. When this happens, the radio clock resets, so I'm assuming that this is somehow interrupting battery power briefly. Again, if I turn the key off and back on, it will sometimes go away (although sometimes I have to first turn off EVERY electrical device, such as the heater fan and radio and make sure that the dome light and brake lights aren't on).
What could be causing this?
