Your solenoid sounds like it is screwed. Pick up a new one and see what happens. It is on the driver side fenderwell.

Yep. I had the same "continuous cranking" problem with my '87. Solenoid was bad.

The switch may be bad. The plastic is bad to melt and the wires can touch where they are not supposed to. This is a problem for late 80's - 90's Fords. I had to replacw the switch on my '87 as well. If the key wasn't in just the right position it would keep cranking also.
