Usually one of three reasons. Starter is staying energized from starter switch or starter solenoid is bad internally or bendix gear on the end of the starter is not retracting. Tests: "bump" the starter with a momentary pulse of the key. If it continues to crank after releasing the key it's electrical. If not then probably gear is stuck or damaged. Check gear at flywheel. Should slide in and out of engagement freely. If problem is electrical then locate starter engagement wire at solenoid. And when motor starts check for battery voltage at that wire when disconnected. If it has voltage then suspect switch. If not then check for voltage at solenoid terminal. If voltage then replace solenoid or starter if integral.

Does a vehicle have an alternator and a starter?

Yes. The alternator is used to keep the battery charged, while using the headlights, radio, a/c, etc. The starter to me is misstated because it actually cranks the engine. The ignition system starts it, and keeps it running.

Why does Starter keep cranking even after the engine starts I Replaced starter but still cranking?

There are probably severable possible reasons, but I can only think of a few at the moment. Some of the reasons include: 1. Misalignment of the starter when installed, which allows the teeth on the starter gear to bind with the the teeth on the flywheel, thus preventing disengagement after the engine starts. 2. A defective starter solenoid, which remains [stuck] in the start/engaged postion. 3. A defective ignition/starter switch in which the circuit providing current to the starter solenoid winding coil does not "open" as it should when the key is released and thus be allowed to return to the "run" position.j3h.
