Try cleaning the battery clamps and seal them with anti corrosion. You can buy the kit at local store. Also, check the negative cable at the other end where it connects to the car. Bad contacts can cause funny things to happen.

could it be a fusible link? ive cleaned all grounds checked everything. my theft light came on while driving and turned off within 30secs could that have anything too do with the ignition switch or cylinder? or even programming that maybe it thinks its in theft mode‍♂️‍♂️
