The indicator light will let you no if the starter relay stuck but the problem with only an indicator is that there is no simple way to stop the starter engagement. You have to pull the panel and disconnect the battery to stop it and that takes a lot of time. It sounds like this guy panicked which resulted in injury. In addition to a indicator light a battery quick disconnect would be beneficial.

I appreciate all the help you guys gave me in the last few months! It has been a huge learning curve but is rewarding at the same time.
It seems that my sled is going through starter relays like crazy. This why it took so long to pinpoint the issue. It was the starter relay but it keeps happening where the sled can only turn on a few times before the relay decides that it is not going to work anymore and we have to replace it because it will just not turn on at all.
Any idea what is going on to cause this to happen again and again? We are also experiencing what I am assuming to be overheating? The machine will run and then the yellow/orange warning light will come on but no error codes or other lights come on. This happens when idling (even after a minute or so) and then the machine will turn itself off. Sometimes it will start again, other times I had to replace the relay and then it would start up no problem. This issue has occurred in the past but it is happening more and more lately.
Help is very much appreciated!
I have heard people say to use dielectric grease on the solenoid and I have heard others say not to use it.. what do you guys suggest?
