starter motor wont turn off

[tubby5]

just a quick question,over the last few days my 5s starter motor keeps spinning for about 10sec or so when the engine fires up.its an oe starter motor and only a few months old any ideas what it could be????

[IANMM]

sticky solenoid?

[RICHIE]

or ignition barrel fault

id go with ritchie happened on my 5 is the ignition barrell ok for example when u turn the key does it spring bck its self
if not thats why ur starter will be sticking?

[markey b]

same here, on my old campus the barrell lost its spring from the start position and if you did'nt pay attention and turn it back would keep starter engaged

[mightymanx]

yer thats what happened to mine markey had to turn it back by hand other wise it would stick the starter motor on

[Schakal]

happened to me couple days ago , most deffo the ignition barrel .
like mentioned you can tell by it loosing its "spring back" action
