So I've had this problem before. My truck starts and the starter will not stop. My starter relay/solenoid is stuck in the closed position. I replaced that and the ignition switch. Problem went away now is back. What could be screwing my starter relays up so bad. The nss is new also.

Yo B,

Ensure that battery voltage is not getting to the relay with Key OFF, or in accessory or run positions with battery connected; pull the R/LB wire at starter relay on inner fender and test for battery voltage.

If it is not a Motorcraft unit, suspect its quality.

Make sure inner fender area is clean; free of rust, etc.

The solenoid is grounded thru the mounting bracket so if area under bracket is NOT clean then clean it well screws will NOT carry the load which will burn out solenoid in on position. Like he said lifetime warranty stuff is that way cause you will need IT. One other thing to check is after new solenoid is installed on clean surface does starter turn slooow or fast? If slow have it tested for high draw or have it tested anyway.

Whoa begone
