starter wont stop turning

[mr. ranger]

i have a 87 ranger 2.9l 4x4 pretty built up and i recenlty went 4 wheeling and went to hit some trails then i turned my truck off and then when i went to start it all i got was one click and it wouldnt turn over all i got was a click and the click was coming from the coil/sylboid so i replace that and the starter and the ignitoin switvh and now when the key is out of igintion and i hook the battery up the truck turns over wtf ! and i cant figure it out i replaced all the stuff i could think of please help

Sounds like you dont have the solenoid wires hooked up properly. Your starter (+) wire must be on Positive all the time. Or you have a faulty solenoid (yes I know it's brand new but its been known to happen)

Really lol then I should take it back and get a another new One then cause it is wired up correctly my uncle is a works on car for a living and helped me out with it even tho
It's really simple

If it's so easy, then why haven't you figured it out? (just messin )

Check for 12v+ at the red light blue wire, that goes to the solenoid. If it's powered all of the time with the key out, problem is most likely in the ignition switch.

If no power on R/LB and the starter still turns over when it's disconnected, either the solenoid wiring is wrong, or it's stuck. Simple to diagnose with a volt meter.

^this. between the two trucks i have owned i have put 3 starter solenoids on them. literally every time i had to do this, i went and bought a new one from advance auto parts or oreillys. somehow, all 3 times the first one i bought was bad.
