Yesterday put in a new clutch with some mates, and now the starter motor will stay on even when the cars ticking and moving, it drains the battery and before i realised it was on, my speedos went dim and the speedometer stopped working untill I turned my headlights off lol?

Anyone reckon its stuck on something? Or the wiring is wrong.

Any ideas?
Thanks

really don't want to be driving round with it left on because it will overheat set on fire my guess would be the solenoid is sticking
