00 sunfire starter issue can anyone help?

i have a 2000 sunfire with a 2.2l motor when i start the car the starter will stay on. I changed the starter and it still does it. There's 3 wires that go to the starter from a relay and soon as i unplug the relay it turns off like it should i changed the relay and still stays on and sometime the car will start when the key is turned to the on position. can anyone help??

you need to check the ignition switch in it but also look for a raw spot in a wire leading to the relay unit,usually a bad ignition switch will cause other problems also,and it wont spring back after you start the vehicle,check that and look for a bare spot on a wire from the ignition switch to the relay, or from the relay to the starter.good luck with it.

could be a bad ignition lock cylinder or ignition switch
I thought the relay at first too. BUT! Ignition switch my friend. I'm positive there's a short in the ignition switch.
