Drove 30 miles all fine, stopped for 10 mins then drove 3 miles, car died. on trying to restart, starter engages with key in ON position, no attempt to run, no longer need clutch to make starter engage and when you turn the key on the radio comes on with the starter.

Ok lot of things happend at once. I've exposed the ignition modual the switch is dash mounted but it goes into the steering colum from there. I've changed crank sensor just because, batt is good enough to move the car in 1st gear. But the runaway starter and the radio coming on is tossing me a curve

I'm guessing a stuck starter solenoid.
