a loose or poor ground would backfeed & potentially cause this. Disconnect ground from battery & ensure all of you + connections are good....then before re-connecting - to battery,,,inspect other end & where it goes. Should be grounded good to engine & chassis....does not hurt to add additional ground leads.
