It sounds like the contacts have welded themselves together. This would happen if one had inadvertently installed a master relay in the starter relay position. The difference between the two is that the starter relay can switch very high currents but the master can't. The starter relay applies 13V (or 27V) directly across the starter which draws a very high current. The master relay can't handle those levels of current. Swap out the relay for a new starter relay, they're cheap enough.
