1989 Ford Bronco V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic unknow miles

1989 ford bronco 5.8 engine auto trans. I had a new starter put on and a few weeks later when I went to start the engine, the starter would not disengage and I ended up getting out and disconnecting the battery. After towing it to the shop, they put a new starter on and a solonoid. Two weeks later the same thing happened again. The starter will not disengage while the engine trys to start. I again had to jump out and disconnect the battery. Any clues?

I could turn the key back to the off position and pull out the key and the engine will still try to stay running and the starter will stay engaged. It is an old truck and I know that the ignition will not turn back into the acc position anymore. That may be it.
