starter headache

[pbserna]

My problem is that I replaced the starter but now when i go to reconnect the battery, the truck will start up with no key. I double checked the connections to make sure that nothing is touching but can't seem to find the problem.

wires are on your starter solenoid incorrectly attached, or the starter solenoid is stuck engaged....if u replaced it with a reman unit with the solenoid on the starter u could have a defective rebuild...

Sounds like the battery & starter cables are backwards. Greg
