PCM 351 - Starter on with Key in "OFF"

I have a ’84 Ski Supreme with a 351cu PCM (pre electronic ignition). When I went to de-winterize it I found that as soon as I connected the battery, the starter started to crank. I thought the ignition switch was bad so I took it apart cleaned it up and put it back together.

It was only then that I found that I have the same problem even without the ignition switched wired in. All 3 wires disconnected from the ignition (key switch) and as soon as I connect the battery the started cranks.

Any suggestions?

Replace the switch, then go from there.

New solenoid for an '84 F150 did the trick! Thanks!
