![]() OK., here's what I think happened. The lead from the starter got transferred from the front terminal to the rear terminal. We're talking the small terminals on the relay. When the key is on, the starter terminal (front) will not be hot, giving voltage to only the ignition and to all the other things connected to it (rear). If the starter wire is connected to this (incorrectly), then the starter motor will turn the motor over even in the "key on" position. The starter motor should only be energized when the front terminal is connected. This occurs only when the the key is twisted to the "start" position. Use a test lifgt to find out what is energizeed in these different posions of the ignition switch. If this is confusing, e-mail me or continue here.
