Snail, what is that second solenoid on the starter. Is that the relay built on to the starter solenoid itself?

Yes it is starter solenoid relay. Usually mechanics don't care about wires when they install starter or performing any work around. Wire insulation is crap and vibration takes it away. Then it shorts and starter start runaway. I lost my stater during driving. Ironin was in sleeper taking nap when suddenly his engine start running. Scary, good his truck was in neutral.
