I have a 1990 Mustang 5.0 and have had a weird starting issue occure. My seleniod blew and so I replaced it. Problem is the new seleniod keeps shorting out across the -/+ terminals (burned up 3 so far) after the first turn of the key and my starter will continue turning over the engine evan AFTER I have turned off and pulled out the key. The only way to turn it off was to disconnect the battery. It's a short of some kind any ideas what is causing the seleniod to burn up like that? I'm trying to figure it out so I've installed a common 2-pole house switch in place of the seleniod while I'm figuring out where the short is.
Any ideas?
P.S. I've replaced the ignition switch thinking it may have been a short there but no luck.
