I knew I had a low battery so connected a boost pack,turned ignition on ,car nearly started,96 dse p38 ,so turned key to off thinking i'll give it another go,
but starter just continued to turn even with key in off position,
It stopped when I took off the booster leads,only because no power left in battery I think.
What's going on people,,,,

Could be a stuck relay....

Or the BeCM is throwing a fit due to low voltage....

Update ,swapped a few relay's around,same type,jump leads off another car ,starter sounded stuck i.e not throwing out cog but turning,checked for lose wire gave it a rattel by hand ,heard a click ,jump leads back on car starts only needed to reset windows.
So me thinks stuck relay and stuck starter motor at the same time.
weird feeling having keys in your hand and car trying to start itself,

Pull the solenoid wire and see if it still does it. If it does contact bar is welded to main terminals in solenoid. New starter if it's that.
