Ok here's my issue. The other day out of the blue my starter stayed engaged after I started my 93 GT. I replaced the solenoid and my ignition switch and checked all my wiring so far. What I don't understand is that it only does it when I use the key to start the car and even then it only does it if I stay on the starter for longer that 3 or 4 seconds. If I bump it and get lucky enough to get it to fire up its fine. It also works fine if I just turn the key to the run position and jump the solenoid. I talked to one of my friends who was into racing and who is familiar with the 5.0 mustang and he said that the bendix on my starter may be damaged. But I can't understand why it doesn't do it when I jump the solenoid. I've been on here and read every post concerning the solenoid and ignition switches and tried everything they suggested and that I could think of. Also I took the old solenoid and ignition switch apart and they both looked fine. No corrosion or welded contacts or anything. Any help on this would save me a lot of stress and hair loss.
