Occasionally, my 1988, 351 xlt Bronco won't stop starting. I turn the key, it starts, but the starter keeps cranking! Bad for the flywheel and starter! Might this be the key switch, actuator or ignition switch, or...? I've replaced the actuator twice in the past 2 years and replaced the ignition switch several years ago.
Thanx in advance!

What's the actuator??? I've had this happen to me and it was the solenoid/relay mounted on the fenderwall.

 

yup, its the solenoid. when you turn the key and nothing happens, then its the aluminum thingy in the sterring column. those are fun to change.
