    AND the contacts are EASY TO CHANGE--cheap too.
    Both my previous toys had this happen--just a matter of time.
    If your in a pinch and cannot find the contacts-you can temporarily SWAP SIDES.
    Five dollar fix VS $100+++

    I'll chime in on this every time, my starter would stay engaged and crank even with the key out, freaked me the hell out. Then it would click, and sometimes it would start like nothing was wrong. I called a local alternator/starter shop that rebuilds them and got the solonoid contacts for under 10 bucks. Took me more time to get the starter out than it did to replace the contacts. Look into it, a cheap fix is always a good thing
