I would tend to think ignition switch or starter solenoid. If your starter continues to turn the engine with the switch off, the "bendix" has to be engaged, but more important, the starter is getting power from somewhere. Either the ignition switch is stuck or the starter solenoid is stuck. Simple troubleshooting, swap the ignition switches and see if the problem follows the switch. Then try the solenoid.
