Hi folks -- I installed it 4 weeks ago wiring as Randall suggested  
by-passing the solenoid, I moved the wire to the starter up to the top post of  
the 
solenoid direct from the battery, and ran a new wire from the  vacated bottom 
post to the new solenoid on the starter.  Everything  was great and it started 
every day for 3 weeks.  
 
I started it tonight and there was a real funny noise coming from  under the 
hood.  Checked it out and thought it was coming from the  starter.  Shut the 
engine down and the starter was still cranking away with  the key off.  I 
quickly disconnected the battery.  Yikes, what the  heck happened?  Is the 
starter/ 
solenoid, defective or did I do something  wrong?  If I did wire it wrong, 
why did it work flawlessly for 3  weeks?  
 
Can anyone shed any light on this?
 
Thanks in advance.
