    I bought my radio off of ebay.. seller said new. and it feels new, but he sent me 3rd party connectors so I think I need to replace them with the correct eclipse connectors and I'm guessing this will fix my short issue.

    Could be corrosion on the cable connection from the Battery to the Starter.
    Usually the terminal on the starter end gets corroded and needs
    to be cleaned...makes better contact.
    Loosen it at the starter, clean the corrosion off with whatever
    and re-tighten at the starter.

    Less electrical resistance and better current flow from battery makes
    starters happier.

    Good Luck.
