Because of the prior issue, this may not be relevant, but the dim headlamps made me post anyway. I deal mainly with Fords and I have noticed in the past that if the battery voltage drops too much, the solenoid wants to stay connected. I realized that when the starter was engaged the contacts in the solenoid would get lightly arced together, I'd have to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. The issue resolved itself after the battery was brought back up...just a thought. This is on vehicles with a separate solenoid, but I guess it could apply to a starter with the solenoid mounted on it...but they have a heavier spring mechanism to return it.
