Something else I thought of. If the bottom solinoid is shorted, as soon as you turn the key to the run position it will crank and continue to crank even after the motor starts. Are you sure the dash light switch is not engaged? I don't get how the two are related....someone will be along though that knows more ....

The starter relay contacts are likely burnt togather once it's powered up.
That's the only way the starter would get power to run unless there is a short to battery in the pull up circuit to the relay winding.
Good luck.
