Disconnect the negative battery cable, connect one lead of a multimeter to the cable and the other to the battery. Set the multimeter to VDC, turn the key on and see what the reading is (should be near zero). If you have a high reading, try disconnecting the large red wire that goes from the battery to the solenoid (disconnect at the battery). Let us know what happens.
