Starter Motor Staying engaged
1992 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 Starter motor is staying engaged when I start up the truck. When I disconnect the wire on the small post on the relay (shown down below) the starter turns off and the truck runs fine. My vote is for a new ignition switch but curious on what you guys think
Brand new starter and starter relay.
Brand new starter and starter relay.

yes if I put the wire back on the post while the engine is running it turns on the starter motor again.

ok. I'd start over. hook it all back up. start motor and make sure the key in in run position. if the starter is going first check if the sm red wire is hot 12v. if it is its the ignition switch. if not hot its the solenoid or the bendex on the starter is stucki. also where does the big red wire on the left side of the solenoid go?

You removed your picture.
The solenoid , The big wire that goes to the starter should be the only wire on that stud
The small wire with the red plug should go to the small stud marked with a "S"
All the other wires with a big terminal should go to the same stud that the battery connects to.
