need help pls

2002 F-350 4x4 7.3

Thought my starter was gone.
Changed starter and went to hook up the batteries.
Truck turns over and trys to start without even having keys in it?
Must be some kind of soliniod stuck somewhere?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks .Ken

Top large post or the one farther from starter body is where battery wire connects
Disconnect small wire and see if it still yties to start

I had to take the starter off to see the little wire.
Theres a little tab on the little wire to hold it in place when you tighten it up.
Somehow the tab got bent and when I tightened it up it didnt stay in place it turned until it was hitting the big wire.

Thanks for the help , I probably wouldnt have taken if off again until you told me to take off the little wire.
