Its hooked up wrong or you have power wire to close to solenoid power wire or you have a huge parasitic draw to frame, like a bare power wire (likely battery terminal) touching the body/frame. If you cannot find the issue I would take to a shop this could cause a fire.

You may need to test the ignition by testing for power at the solenoid (at starter) power side with ignition switch turned off there should be no power to it, if there is power there then ignition switch may be bad or a short from a another wire/device is touching it/shorting into it.

If these are re-manufactured units this could be the issue even if it has happened three times thus far.
