What have you done to the car? Did you rewire something, and if so what?

The cluster was acting up so i taped up my reverse light wireing ( wire that runs from shifter boot down by the drive shaft and to the tranny) that fixed my cluster but the starter was before all that. I replaced the starter when i first got the car idk if that may be it. Also idk if i have a parisitic drain or if its the starter thats sucking up the battery life

Sounds like something in starter is wired wrong.

Like i need a new starter? I have a spare one but the bolt holes are broken so i can mount it but its good for parts

Sounds like a bad ignition switch.
