Starter problem

I have been having a very confusing problem with a rebuilt starter on my brother 93 F150 5.0.The truck will start fine but when you shut it off the starter will start turning over until you unhook the battery.The starter is a new rebuilt one less then a week old,and there is a new starter relay on the fender.I tried unhooking the little wire from the stater relay when the problem happens but it didn't stop the starter.The only thing that stops it is unhooking the battery.What should be the next thing I should try to solve this problem so he doesn't burn up his new starter.

Get a replacement solenoid, many of today's Chinese-made ones are junk out of the box.
