I decided to go for a short ride today since it was gorgeous outside. But my 2000 K1200LT's battery was dead for some reason. So I jumped it from my Jeep and took off. A few miles away I was in a parking lot with the engine still running and had to back up. When I tried to put it in reverse, I could feel the starter motor gears grinding. So I backed out with my feet and went back home. On the way home, I could hear a whining noise (starter?) plus my turn signals didn't work.
I pulled in the garage, turned off the key, but the starter kept turning the engine even with the key off. So I turned the key back on and left the motor running and grabbed a wrench and disconnected the battery - then turned the motor off.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong? I have no idea where to start with this problem.
