Starter troubleshooting

I have a 2000 F250. Once it is started and running, the starter will not shut off. I have already replaced the starter relay soleniod, check all fuses and put on a new starter. Nothing worked to this point. Can you help?

How do you get it to stop ??? What happens when you turn the key off. Gasser or oil burner ???

There are two solenoids one on the fender wall and one on the starter. If you disconnect the small wire on the solenoid on the fender and run a jumper from the battery+ to the solenoid that will simulate turning the key. Jump it with the key off and see what happens. The engine should turn and stop when you remove the wire.
Let us know.
