Hey there, Peter!
Sounds like you've got a bit of a stubborn starter on your hands there. When it keeps engaging even when it's supposed to be chilling out, it can be a real head-scratcher.
One thing to check first is the starter solenoid. Sometimes, it can get stuck in the engaged position due to wear and tear or debris.
Next, take a look at the ignition switch. If it's faulty, it could be sending a constant signal to the starter, keeping it engaged even when the engine is off.
Also, check the wiring going to the starter. Make sure there are no loose connections or damaged wires that could be causing the issue. If you've ruled out all of those possibilities and the starter still won't play nice, it might be time to consider replacing it altogether. Sometimes, starters just reach the end of their lifespan and need to be put out to pasture.
Keep troubleshooting step by step, and hopefully, you'll get to the bottom of it without too much fuss. If all else fails, a professional mechanic can lend a hand in diagnosing and fixing the problem.
