My starter continues to run once the truck starts. Have replaced starter and selonoid already

this could be a few problems that cause this,

1. your battery could be weak and not have enough juice to engage the starter solenoid

2. the bendix could be messed up

3. this is probaly the most common problem, the starter solenoid went out

the best course of action would be to have your battery load tested, and if its fine, replace the starter

The part that makes the connection when you turn the switch is a selonoid, in most cases it is part of the starter. Check with a part store to see if you can replace the selonoid or if you will have to replace the complete starter.

The "click" you hear is the selonoid or starter switch making contact so the engine will start. I suggest you take the starter with the starter selonoid attached to a parts supplier and have them test for a bad selonoid.

I suggest you stand next to the person checking the unit. It will keep him honest and you just got a free lesson on how to test a starter and selonoid.


let me know what you think

your ignition switch is out of adjustment or a bad ignition switch or a blown fuesable link!!
also ther are igntion fuses in the main block under the hood!!

Make sure your battery is fully charged and all terminals and connections are clean, first. If the car still makes a clicking sound near the starter its your starter selonoid. Some vehicle models allow you to just replace the selonoid and others require a whole new starter. Either way you'll probably have to remove the whole starter to accomplish the repair.

sound like a bad starter solenoid.

Just a suggestion. Start by pulling one fuse at a time. If the battery does not drain then at least you have found the curcuit that needs to be checked. Also there may be a short in the starter selonoid or if you had filters changed a live wire may have been pinched. Recheck all filters & make sure nothing is grounding a live wire. Hope this helps. Good luck!

This could be a bad ignition relay or if you have an alarm on the vehicle pull the fuse out of the alarm circuit and see if the vehicle will start. I had a problem once where the cable to the starter solenoid had grounded out and it did that to me when I tried to start the vehicle. Finally, it could be a bad ignition switch.

Check all of the battery terminals and cables and check the wires on the starter/selonoid, start from the battery and follow the cable out and check all conections , clean and tighten them and if it still does it the starter/selonoid is bad and needs replacement...
 
also check the ignition switch and ignition module.
