Uhm, sounds like you have it wired wrong, maybe? It sounds like the electromagnet isn't disengaging.

you could take it to a parts store to have it tested free, and make sure you observe how they hook up the power, ground, and solenoid.

Disconnect the battery & pull it off.
Then clean it & bench check it at your neighborhood parts store.

If is worn out, hit the "for sale/WTB" forum.
