Why does starter keep running with ignition off?
So, if your starter keep running, the problem could be stuck starter relay contacts, a continuous ground on the starter relay control coil, or a binding ignition lock cylinder that keeps the actually ignition switch in the START position. If the problem persists, it’s not a stuck relay.

If the resistance is zero, then the circuit might be shorted. If the resistance is infinite, then the circuit could be broken. If there is a short circuit or broken circuit, you should replace the starter solenoid.
What to do if your Toyota Avalon starts cranking?
2) Also, try repeatedly turning the key to the “start” position. ie) turn against the spring in the ignition…you will notice if the car is cranking…if NOT release and immediately turn again (you should be doing this 2-3 times per second). These repeated “jolts” of current often get the starter “cranking” in the early stages of its decline.
Why does my 1999 Toyota Avalon not start?
1999 Avalon would not start this morning. Did notice windows were slow the day before. Replaced the battery and still would not start. Husband started looking @ it (was his own VW mechanic) and found if he banged on the starter it would start. Besides having 3 sets of tires this is the first problem.
Do you need a starter for a Toyota Avalon?
With a starter, definitely use the aftermarket and save a few bucks – starters from Toyota are expensive. I have a 2000 Aavalon XLS with pretty much all of the upgrades (6-CD changer, leather, homelink…etc.) The car also has a low mileage (18,600 miles so far).
What’s the problem with my 2006 Avalon XL?
I’m ripping my hair out over an ongoing problem with my 2006 Avalon XLS. Anywhere from 1-10 times per week when you turn the ky to start the engine, it will crank continuously and not start the engine. If you turn the key back to OFF, then try again, it starts right up.
