Starter motor will not disengage on start up when the engine is running. When I disconnect the positive battery cable from the battery the starter motor disengages. Plus when I turn the ignition key to the off position the starter still does not disengage.

Think may have starter solenoid wired backwards. Two poles on solenoid switch to terminal marked "S"
