Why does the starter motor not disengage from the flywheel?
If however, you mean that the starter motor doesn’t disengage from the flywheel as it should, then you probably have either bad solenoid OR a weak/damaged solenoid return spring, which is supposed to disengage the starter motor “sprocket” from the flywheel.
What should I do if my starter won’t disengage?
It is a push on/pull off type terminal. Now turn the key to START and release. If the starter motor continues to turn pull the small connector from the RED/LBLU off its stud terminal while the starter is still cranking the engine (you may need a helper).
What’s the difference between a starter relay and a solenoid?
Most often, a true starter relay is a small black cube plugged into an electrical fuse/relay box in the engine compartment, whereas a starter solenoid is (in most cases) attached directly to the starter on the engine (although it is sometimes located elsewhere in the engine compartment).
What causes a starter to pull out of the ground?
Most starters are grounded through the mounting block, and if there is excessive oil or paint on the block, the starter will have a faulty ground. This will cause the starter to pull excessive amps, making it overheat and wear out. Problem: Starter does not bolt up correctly.

Why does my starter stop working when I Turn Off the engine?
If the starter motor continues to turn pull the small connector from the RED/LBLU off its stud terminal while the starter is still cranking the engine (you may need a helper). If the starter motor stops cranking when you pull the terminal off then problem is a failed ignition switch.
What does it mean when starter stays engaged even after ignition?
An expert who has achieved level 1. An expert whose answer got voted for 2 times. Re: Starter stays engaged,even after ignition is turned… Just to clarify, I also have an 86 F150 standard exhibiting what sounds like the same problem. On my unit, power is still applied to the starter motor with the switch turned off.
What happens when the starter relay is stuck?
If the starter stays on after the engine has ignited, the main contacts in the starter relay have most likely welded together in the closed position. When this occurs, the starter relay will be stuck in the on position and damage will occur to the starter, circuit, relay, and the transmission flywheel if it is not addressed immediately.

Why does my Ford starter keep running even after I Turn Off the engine?
Some Ford owners encounter a situation where the starter run continuously or keeps running even after the engine has started and even after they’ve removed the key from the ignition. At first, this may make you think the starter drive is binding. Or you may think you have a bad starter relay.
