ok guys I am new here so please be nice. I tried searching for this but could not find the answer. i just bought a 1989 f150 today. worked great but batt was dead (been sitting for most of 2 years) I through a charger on it to start her up (50 amp for starting) when I did this is started right up but the starter would not stop spinning(sounded like it just had too much power) so i turned her off and she just kept on running. I ran around to the front and pulled the charger, it only stopped when the batt died. so I pulled the cables off and charged just the batt for awhile. now whenever i put the cables back on it wants to start up even with the key in the off position.!! what gives? did I fry the siloniod? ignition switch?any help would be great!! maybe the replay switch?

check your solenoid wires..... you might have one crossed or maybe the solenoid is faulty and needs replaced.... hope this helps

oh I should mention that it was running fine before, but batt was dying and it died from me starting it too much and not letting it recharge, thats why I used the charger.

would they cross by themselves? it worked before

I would spend the 10 bucks to get a new starter solenoid from O'Reillys, Redneck's right, that's probably what it is.
