Somehow you bypassed the solenoid switch which normally turns on the starter. I assume the starter came with a new solinoid?
Unlikely but solenoid may have been wired internally wrong, or you have the wrong starter. Double check your connections to the solinoid.
The new starter solenoid was bad..thanks for the help

What kind of car? How many wires are at the starter? Was the original starter doin the same thing?

The only things i can think of would be either the ignition switch itself is bad or you have a shorted s wire to power. you can check this by removing the little wire on the solenoid then hook up your battery and if it doesnt turn over check for power on the wire while someone turns the key to the start position and releases it,you should have power in the start postion and none in any other position.

DID THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN BEFORE YOU REPLACED THE SWITCH? IF IT DID, THAN SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A BAD STARTER SHORTING INTERNALLY
LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT AND GOOD LUCK.

check the relays connected to the starter, replace with the same type, check also relays on the regulator. the relays usually fails ans causes starting problems.

Try the ignition switch (the actual part with the keys). You can actually try starting the car without using the keys. You can do this by hot wiring.

This job is easy to do, dissconnect battery terminal wait 3 min, before continuing, next remove cooler line clamp off starter, then remove the cable wire and the small wire from the starter, next remove the two bolts holding the starter and starter is removed,
the location is at rear of the engine, if you look at where the engine and trany meet the starter should be it thatr area at the top,
