Ha, your post encourages me to keep a 10mm combination wrench with me at all times in the car.
Now, after checking the electrical circuit, I see that there is no fail-safe protection circuit implemented, and there will be no other way to stop the engine from starting other than to immediately disconnect the battery.
I was lucky I was in my garage and next to my tool box.
Got it out and tried it again and the starter is still running. It's the starter?
Yes, this is a bad starter. Please create a new thread about your experience with replacing the starter.
P.S. You can put the relay and fuse back in place.
jefthim, what is your car year and mileage when the starter failed?
And stay away from auto shop brand starters. They're all junk that will last a year or so at best. Trust only remanufactured OEM or DENSO.
The OEM starter is fully rebuildable.

I understand it's under the intake manifold and I'm not sure I'm up for that job.
