'21 GTI SE 170 - Starter engages when battery connected

Put my 2021 GTI SE 170 in the water for the season, started it up at the ramp normally and everything was fine. Stopped on the way home, turned it off and back on and nothing was abnormal. When I got to my dock and pressed the start/stop button to stop the engine, I got a long beep and battery warning light. There was also a sound coming from the engine bay that sounded like a pump or fan running (fuel pump?). Tired to start it up again but nothing would happen, not even a click. Pulled the Key off, but the noise continued. Quickly got a screwdriver and disconnected the battery. Then tried to reconnect the battery and as soon as the 2nd pole is connected, the starter engages even though the key is off. Tried again today and same thing happens. Is it a bad starter solonoid? Bad ECU/MPEM? Starter itself is clearly fine because it tries to turn over.
 
i just had the same problem on a 06 rxt. ski ran fine the when just sitting i could hear something running with the ski off, even running with the key out. disconnect the battery and the sound goes away hook the battery back up and the ski wants to start with no key on or pushing the start button any ideas?
