So I recently get done with my front bearing project and the car was running so smooth and nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) that I had that fear in the back of my mind about when it was all going to end. Well today I was coasting down mountain ave when the light changed so I down shifted into third, and it started. The starter is staying engaged with or without the key in. I pulled over and popped the lid and disconnected the negative terminal. Checked the wiring at the selenoid which looked normal, every time I reconnect the battery the starter engages and attempts to start the car. What do you all think? There is the obvious replace the starter but any other suggestions? I have a tow kit on it so I will try and get it home to take a closer look. Help!

Rich, I read earlier on this post to keep the key in to pull the ignition assembly, what position does it need to be in? Does the unit just slide out or do i need to pull with some force, by the way doing this help me figure out why my windshield wipers dont work, THEY WERENT PLUGGED IN!

Nevermind, I got the assembly out but how do i get the starter switch out, just yank, I see two tabs on the sides but I can not tell if they get squeezed in out other wise. The black is grease, i dont see any melting yet. Attached image(s) |

This is wierd. |
