96 GTX Starter motor runs continuously

[jlbost3]

Docked the other day and killed power. Heard a noise coming from engine bay. The starter motor was running continuously until it killed the battery. Took it home, disconnected the battery. Unplugged the starter button. Reconnected the battery. Same issue. Anyone ever had this happen?

Solenoid is stuck and bad. Typically caused by a weak battery and the internal contacts fuse.
