As far as starter solenoid/relay. One of the smaller wires has to be feed from the crank position of ignition switch. If it is hot w/o the key, either the ignition switch/connector is faulty or that circuit is shorted to voltage, somewhere. You can use test light to check voltage on smaller wire. Just my opinion.
