Replaced Starter, Starter makes weird whirring noise
So my battery and starter died recently(starter as a result from driving around on dead battery).
I replaced the starter and instead of the car powering up I get an initial crank and engine starts to go like it will start up for about a second, but then the engine dies and the starter keeps going with the power on for about 5 seconds with just a weird "whirrrrrrrrrr" before it dies. Did I buy a faulty starter or do I have it hooked up incorrectly? I'm about to take it out and inspect but just wondering if anyone has seen this before. Thanks.
