Alternator wires, starter won't disengage where do the wires go?

Does life get any crazier?

I replaced starter with a new/rebuilt from the autopart store. I have yet to take the old one back to see if it tests bad.

I no longer have the starter staying engaged problem. Cool huh? Just when I thought it was cool, I was taking a test drive and the starter kicked on while I was driving!!!!

What the !@#*???? Never had that happen in any vehicle before. New ignition switch, new solenoid, new starter. What else could it be? Could the key be sticky? Doesn't feel like it. When I was having 'not disengaging' problem, I turned the key back clear up until the truck turned off to see if the starter would disengage and it didn't disengage until the truck was turned all the way off. On the test drive, when the starter kicked in, I turned the truck off and roll started it while I was still moving and the starter disengaged.

Besides the fact that God doesn't want me to drive my truck, what gives??!

Thanks,
Rick
