2005 Polaris ranger starter will not stop turning. Unit is off and key is out--had to disconnect battery to get it to stop. Starts turning whenever battery is reconnected. Is this a problem in the ignition switch?

 

Probably. You may have moisture on the contacts closing the circuit inside the switch. Or, it could be a stuck starter solenoid, which is what sends current to the starter. Clean all contacts with WD-40 or similar. I don't think it's the pushbutton, unless the starter ordinarily turns over with the key off.

 

I disconnect switch from vehicle and starter still turns when battery is connected. I think I found the starter but where is the solenoid?

 

its right after the hot wire to the battery,little red wire coming out of it, if its anything like my scram...........

 

i beat on mine with a wrench and it stopped. dont know why it worked i was just hitting it because i was mad.

 

Yes good chance starter solenoid! Had ranger do same thing! Solenoid under seat in front of oil tank under metal flap. Just replace . Good luck
