Default Big Ignition Problem!

Hey. I just recently had an imobilzer and a CD player installed in my 1990 5.0 LX Mustang. The imoblizer was installed about a month ago with not problems to date, and the car deck installed this past Thrusday. Sunday nite I went to start my car and it just made this un-godly noise. The engine was running... and it almost sounded like the starter motor was trying to engage... even tho the engine was already running. I pulled the key out after about 3 seconds of running and the engine and that un-godly noise were still happeneing... evenwith the key out of theignition. Ipopped the hood and ripped off the negative battury terminal toshut off the engine.Any suggestions as to what the problem may be and how to possibly fix it? The company that installed my deck said that they had to do something with the iginition wires to get the deck to work... I'm thinking they may have done somethingwrong. If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appriciated. I also have tryed to connect the battury again but it sparks like a bitch. Thanks for your time.

more then likely your starter solenoid it probably welded itself together you can try hitting it with a hammer to see if you can break it lose or you can buy a new one!!!!

Would this starter solenoid have anything to do with the imobilzer or car Deck installed?
