Starter won't disengage

[1strodeo]

I'm kinda having this issue now, it's started and drove around just fine many times but I got in it last night and the starter would not disengage. I quick pulled the negative cable (luckily I have no hood) today if I touch the neg cable it will try to crank.

I'm going to first make sure the relay is grounded and the PO didn't just mount it on the fresh painted wheel tub...I may try the crazy thing philipmhampton did as well for the hell of it. Think I have a new relay left over from my 66 Mustang so that's another option. Wish me luck ;D

Well I’ll be a monkeys friggin uncle! It appears phillipmhampton has not logged in since 2014 but phil, if you’re out there man you are my HERO!! That sh#% actually worked!! Love this site...

Feel free to chime in on what just happened, was this the equivalent of giving the relay a smack?

def all of the anove but my issue with that was the ignition switch was bad
