Hi Don,

Are you sure installed a starter relay in that position? 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.
