MAY HAVE A BAD STARTER. EVEN A NEW STARTER CAN BE BAD. THE RELAY COULD BE BAD. THE START AND IGNITION WIRES MAY BE REVERSED.

Check the wiring at the starter, especially the positive battery cable where it bolts to the starter. If the cable end is mispositioned and touching one of the other terminals it will cause the starter to continuously crank. Even with the ignition switch off! Hope that helps! Jim
