starter troubles
I got a 79 f150. I bought a new starter bout a year ago. So i haven't tried crankin it in several months. I go to try and start it up and as soon as i turn the key the starter becomes stuck and the only way to stop it is take the battery cable off. Now when i put the battery to it its automatically starts tryin to crank. I just replaced the solenoid thinkin that might be the problem and its still doin it. I'm kinda at a fix here and not sure where to go from here???????????

as per the diagram 
That means the solenoid/relay is toast or there is power in the wire going to that terminal.
please tell what is disconnected and the key position when you hook the battery cable up.
what happens ?
