Sounds like the starter solenoid is sticking, could be faulty. You might have to pull it out and bench test it. First put a multimeter or test light on the starter solenoid wire (without it being connected to the starter) and check that it stops supplying power when you switch the key off to make sure you don't have any wiring issues.

Would a bad starter relay make the starter motor continue to run even after ignition has been switched off?
yes, it happened to me, what it was, the solenoid of the starter motor got stucked at the closed position causing it to continue working even doe the ingnition key was removed. yes, it happened to me, what it was, the solenoid of the starter motor got stucked at the closed position causing it to continue working even doe the ingnition key was removed.
Why would the starter keep on trying to start the car even though the key isn't turned or even in on a 1993 NA Supra?

1986 f150 starter wont shut off when key turned off?
A 1986 Ford F150 starter won't stuff off when the key is turned off if the ignition switch is jammed. This will cause the start signal to be sent to the starter continuously.
Why does starter continue to run when key is in lock position on a 1987 Ford F-250?
It is probably caused by the ignition switch internals shifting (I had a similar problem before) and it turned out to be the ignition switch)
Why does your 2000s Sienna's starter continue to run even after you have pulled the key?
It sounds like the solenoid is stuck. does the car have an aftermarket remote starter? it could be malfunctioning. ive never seen a solenoid stick on one of these.
What causes the starter not to engage when the key is turned on in a 1992 Lincoln?
If there is complete silence when the key is turned, try tapping the solenoid on the starter with a hammer. Don't laugh. I have found this to be the solution in several cases. This is sure proof that the starter solenoid is the problem. You will want to install a new starter which comes with a new solenoid before you get stranded.
Your 1992 Toyota Previa won't turn off the motor even when you turned the key off and it had a hard time to start a couple of times?
ignition or starter or both.
Why doesn't the starter operate when the key is turned on a Pontiac?
It could be starter, battery, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch or electrical connections.
How do you know ignition relay faulty?
If you mean the relay that controls the starter motor then it is fairly simple. There are 2 possible faults. 1) The relay is working, but is broken or burned out internally. You will hear a click from the engine bay when the key is turned but the starter motor will not do anything, not even engage. 2) The relay is broken. In this case nothing at all will happen when the key is turned.
What causes a 1991 Nissan pickup to only click when the key is turned even though all lights and electrical devices work?
Someone tells me this could be to do with the starter motor
When key is turned nothing happened and battery is good?
Defective ignition switch, or bad starter.
On a 91 ford explorer the question is why would the starter not only stay engaged to the flywheel after the engine has started but keeps running even after the key and engine have been turned off?
The 1991 Ford Explorer should have a separate starter relay that sends power to the starter. It sounds like the relay has stuck and is sending power to the starter even after the vehicle is running.
