74 duster STARTER KEEPS INGAGING

[whiteduster]

Got a 225 74 duster once in a while the starter keeps ingaging when the engin is running i shut the car off and restart it and it stops back to normal i did all the typical repair to the harrnes like by bypassing a few wires from the bulk head everything is fine but it dose this one in a while dose anybody have any ideas?

I'd say it's a starter or flywheel issue

Feedback from the ignition circuit.

Find a white harness connector under the steering column. It comes down from the ignition switch. If it is melted and any other hot wire is shorting to the yellow wire, there's your problem. If no fault found there, next place to look is the wires on the starter itself. A short there will also cause a starter run.
One more place that may or may not be suspect is the seatbelt interlock that the 74 model had in the start circuit yellow wire. Deleting that one year only feature is fairly simple but if someone went the wrong way about it.... who knows
Hope this helps

i fixed it i had a bad regulator a few months ago got a high charge was forced to drive it home i neglected to check the top thick alternater wire that gose to the bulkhead witch i bypassed last year becuase that was shorting out the new wire i used to bypass the bulkhead part of the instalaton was gone due to the high charge that wire is connected to the ignition so when the alternator wire shorts out the starter cranks when engine is on
