Starter wont disengauge

i have a 1988 f150,auto w/302. replaced starter relay underhood last week. when i tried to start truck this morning (usually takes a couple of tries to crank) it didnt start right away so i turned the key off but truck was still trying to crank. had to pull batt cable to shut off. replaced relay no help. even with the "s" wire off of the relay if i try to put batt cable on truck tries to start. anyone had this problem before and how did you fix. thanks
