Your solenoid is stuck in the closed position. This can be because the relay has failed and sticks, or the solenoid on the starter has failed. Locate the starter relay in the underhood power distribution box and remove it. Touch the battery cable to the post. Does the starter turn? If not, you can just buy a new relay. If it turns, get a new starter.

The starter relay/power distribution box? None of these high tech stuff on the foxes.
