Maintenance/Repairs

I have an 04 Hyundai Tiburon. Its been draining the battery during the day and trying to start itself in mornings or at night. I’ve been unhooking the battery at night but when I go to hook it back up it just turns itself on for afew mins then shuts off nd repeats the process every few mins. I removed starter relay and it clicked afew times like it was trying to start but couldnt without access to the starter. Put relay back in and opened the door and heard clicks like the key was turned to the 3rd position to start the car but wasn’t turning engine over yet. As far as I know there was never a remote start put into the vehicle but don’t know where to go to see if one was put in or where to look myself to find out. Also do not know how to geck the starter switch to see if thats the problem. I removed the switch and it looks clean nd doesn’t look like anything is wrong with it. Any ideas on what I should do next to find and fix the problem? Trying to not have to take it to a shop cause they will charge a lot of money for it and we are pretty tight on funds. Any help would be appreciated.
