i've replaced the relay (beside the battery), voltage regulator, alternator, starter is less than 6 months old
when i try to crank it, it doesn't stop when i turn the key back to off position, i have to either pull the battery terminal, or cuff the carb if it starts.
today, i went to plug the terminals up to check it out in daylight, and it started trying to start without the key in the ignition
i disconnected the terminals again, tapped the relay, then put the terminals back on and it didn't try to start on its own this time, until i turned the key, and it wouldn't stop again.
so i tried disconnecting the "I" terminal while it was on its cranking rampage, and it still continued to crank, i did the same thing with the "S" terminal, and got the same outcome
the relay is brand new, but the wiring is old. my question is, could this be due to old wiring, or is it the relay (considering it still tried to crank after "I" and "S" terminals had been individually removed)? i'd hate to have to replace all the wiring if it's just the relay, because i know that once i replace the wires and try to start it up, there will be another problem to solve.
also, the ignition switch still feels fine, same ammount of slack and hesitation as always when trying to turn it (plus it's less than a year old itself)
