I'd take this a step further, and check if one of the battery cables is rubbing
 against the steering gear.

I picture it as the positive cable/harness from battery to starter, since that's
 kinda close, but it could be elsewhere.

Believe it or not, I once had something like this that I cured by cleaning and
 tightening the battery terminals.  Scott is right about this, and it stands a
 chance of being something extremely simple.

 Poor grounding can result in some strange electrical behavior.
