I went out this morning to start my 00z, the battery was drained.. As soon as I hooked up the jumper cables, the car turns over... Without the keys even beeing in the ignition!! I'm really not sure what's going on here?? Any help would be appreciated!

It's often a cabling issue at the starter when this occurs. You don't give any insight as to why the battery was drained or any other work going on with the car. That can have a bearing on suggestions.

Well the car is stil new to me. I brought it home friday night, it sat in the driveway till sat night. I started it up, pulled it into the garage. Sunday morning the battery was dead. Ther person who owned it before me, placed a python alarm system in it. There is also an amplifier hooked up to it. He put lambo doors on it so there electrical things for that as well... I do know the the bcm needs to be soldered, and I need to replace the turn signal flasher.. Again, sorry the car is still new to me. I've been trying to go through and see what's all been done to this poor thing

^sounds like a hack job nightmare. Hopefully its not too bad. Im guessing theres a remote starter on it? They must have bypassed VATS

working them out.. i dont believe there is a car starter on it. just the security system. i believe the battery may be draining from the amp power capacitor. its hooked directly yo the battery, then the amps ran off that. the amp has a remote line, but the capcitor does not. it has been a nightmare so for... on the plus it has been camd, headers and exhaust, with 12 bolt rear. the powertrain is solid

I'd yank all the electrical hacks out and start over.

i belive the starter gear is stuck out against the flywheel thus manually engaging the starter when power is supplied. Try turning the engine backwards by hand , if this doesnt work the bendix return spring is broken and you need a new starter. Educated guess. Good luck
