After disconnecting battery, still does it. Any ideas?

Have you tested the battery? I've seen this exact phenomenon on the GS if the battery is on its way out.

Most likely you need a new battery. Pull it out and get it tested.

I vote battery too. Cut everything off electrical. Start and try again to see what happens with less current draw.
