Starter motor sticking failure- Root cause- Resolution? - Warning light?

Grizz, thank you for your help. It started right up. So the relay is bad.

When it's very cold out I have had to use a hair dryer to warm the relay for it to work. I believe someone said I needed a solid state relay. Here is the relay per OEM I need to get. https://motorcitypowersports.dealer...a/5lw-81940-02-00/starter-relay-assy-rc19-034

Do you know if this is Solid State or if I need to buy an aftermarket so it's a Solid State Relay?

That is the correct part number for the starter relay but they do not come in a solid state. You can pick up a OEM relay for under $50

The solid state relay most people talk about are for fuel pump relays, if it's the same as the Apex/Attak issue with fuel pump relays freezing up. I put one in my Attak.
