I was wondering if anybody out there might be able to give me some insight to an issue that I have with a brand new starter I just installed on a '95 Wrangler SE. The installation required that I use a new batter terminal connection because the stock wires were to short to reach the ground and hot wire posts on the starter. This new connection required that I splice the wires coming out of the fuse box that holds the relay swithc for the starter and the fuses for other sensors and switches (ie fuel pump). The problem comes in when I reconnect the hook-ups to the batter terminals the starter turns on and won't turn off, even with the key out of the ignition. When the key is in the on position the starter will turn over the engine, but still won't turn off. The only way to turn off the starter is to disconnect the battery again.
I haven't replaced the starter relay or the ignition switch yet and think that may be the cause of the issue, however I wanted to see if somebody had this type of experience or had some other insight into the possible cause.
Thanks in advanced!
