Default Starter issue

I have purchased a new starter for my truck, went to turn it on and it does not disengage off the pinwheel , i have a fairly new ignition switch and new starter cable in it and a charger battery , but when i start it it continues to try to start and makes a loud screeching sound, and when i turn the key to off the starter continues to try and start the truck so i disconnect the battery, i am lost at this point, was starting perfectly fine, i cleaned the grounds and connector to my starter and still is not working properly , if anyone can guide me to help me fix it that would be greatly appreciated!

You need to determine if the problem is in the ignition switch or the relay. Sounds like the relay is sticking.
