[V6-12v] Bad relay ? weird symptoms

[Tom Christiansen]

I learned the hard way. One day I came home. The engine stalled. I 
tried to restart it. The starter didn't turn. It turned out the 
starter had fried as it had remained engaged as I drove home. $500 
later ($320 of which was the starter) the car was back to normal.
