I had no power to start, I checked and changed battery, I then pulled out my starter and had it tested twice and both time it passed. I put back in. Then noticed ground off block, I reattached. When I then went to put cable back on battery, the starter engages without key in ignition.I tried a different ignition switth and made sure wires on starter were correct. I am stumped.
The solenoid on the top of the starter is stuck or the drive is stuck in the ring gear. Do this remove the starter and see why the drive is stuck out in the engaged position. if the drive moved Back as you loosen the starter reinstall it and this time keep the drive as far away from the flywheel as you can then tighten. I hope this helps. Take care. If you have more questions for me use testimonial and it will show up in my email.

check that you do not have signal to s terminal on the starter, disconnect it and try hooking battery if starter turns there is an internal short in the starter,

When its hooked up, you should be able to put 12 volts on the little stud on the solenoid and it should start. One large stud will have 12 volts on it, so just jump it right there. Did you get the wires in the right place. The solenoid should have 1 large wire going down to the starter. Be sure the battery cables are clean and tight ( both ends) Check battery voltage when cranking, should go to 10-11 volts. Check voltage between negative terminal on battery and engine, should be ZERO when cranking. The solenoid has 2 large studs, make sure the battery positive wire and all the other wires are hooked to this stud, the other large stud should just have the wire going to the starter.

you better check your starter motor (relay and/or fuse)

You most likely have a short in the wiring to the starter.
Last time I saw something like that a vehicle's exhaust headers created heat which eventually melted the wire's insulation and several of the wires were exposed and shorting on each other and the ground of the vehicle. If possible, get the car on a lift and inspect your starters wiring....
Hope this helps...
