Today I replaced the battery, starter and starter relay. First started the truck with everything working fine. Shut it off and started it againg. The stater stayed engaged. Tapped on relay it stopped. Tried again, now tapping on relay didn't work had to disconnect the neg batt cable. What to check next? All cables look good.
SOURCE: starter will not turn over until the batt. cable is disconnected
Sounds to me like there is a short in the starting system that is causing this (or it's wired wrong). Ford starter solenoids are known for problems. The reason the starter will turn after the cable is disconnected is because the circuit (or in this case short circuit) has been broken . I'll bet if you replace the starter solenoid, your problem will be solved. I think it's just "shorting-to-ground". Good Luck!
SOURCE: stater stays engaged replaced solenoid, starter
Okay....if you have removed and replaced, basically, your starter assmebly and associated parts, then it sounds like you may need to shim it. Also, there should have been a small piece of wire....about the diameter of a piece of hangar. This is used to space the gears from the starter to the flywheel.
Please ask questions and let me know what you have done before we get into the electrical part.
SOURCE: starter engages and will not stop untill battery
either the bendix is locking to the flywheel , or there is a short in the wiring to the starter somewhere!
SOURCE: windstar engine will not shut off after removing key from ignition
I think you need to study about:
Closed or Completed Circuits
Open Circuits
Short Circuits
NO ONE has any idea what a short circuit is
If you had one, you would have a blown
fuse or burned up something
