moving with key off would be main solenoid engaged or welded close
remove the green wire
if it still moves then replace the main solenoid
make sure it is 36v

What would cause it to keep burning up that main solenoid?

Hey crash, that wiring diagram is wrong, the common connections of the solenoids does not go to the speed box.

I agree, either wrong solenoid of wrong wiring (always on).

That Solenoid is the only one that never closes or opens under load, it should outlast all of the other ones.
