Went out to start a "fairly new to me" 860 ford. Normally I would turn to key to the on position, hit the thumb button, and it fires right up. Today I turned the key and the starter started cranking before I hit the button. Turned it off, and then back on, and then hit the button. It cranked but didn't start. Let go of the button and starter kept cranking. Turned the key off and it seemed like it was still wanting to crank, so I pulled the battery cable off. Checked terminals on ignition switch for continuity and have none in off position. Is my problem the 3 terminal solenoid? I pulled the starter cable off of it and hooked up the battery. I have 12 volts to the battery side of the solenoid and the small terminal, and nothing on the started terminal, until I turn key to on position. I hear a click and have 12 volts on the starter terminal until I turn the key off. My starter button looks and feels the same is there a way of testing it, to see if it's stuck.
Thanks for any help.
