The same thing happened to me when I did the same job earlier this year. I replaced the switch and that cured it. I guess the stock switches have become fragile with age.

To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, December 7, 2009, 7:49 PM Can someone tell me what would cause the starter to continue running even after I turned the car off and removed the key from the ignition? I had just put the steering column back together after replacing the bushing at the firewall, took the car for a drive with everything working correctly. After I got home, I turned the car off, let it sit for a few minutes and tried to restart it. It would not start ( hot start problem) but the starter keep running after I turned it off and took out the key. I had to disconnect the battery to stop it. I tried it again after a while and it did it again. Thanks for any help.
