I had problems starting my car. When I went to turn it on I would hear one click and all the lights would dim. No start and the lights would come back on. I replaced the battery and the starter. Now the car starts, however the starter keeps turning over and if I leave the car on too long the starter burns out. I have had problems in the past with the starter but usually id have it replaced and it would work right away. I dont know why it keeps turning over.

Are the wires touching each other at the starter?

Check the crank relay could be sticking in the underhood junction block if okay have the ignition switch further tested-
