  When I got the thing, the safety feature that prevents it from starting 
without your foot on the pedal was already broken.  I ordered the parts to 
fix it, but never got around to it. (Those round tuits are hard to find -- 
mine are all square!)  Now, it seems something has shorted and turned the 
motor on even though the key switch is off. 


  Question:  Is this likely to be a bum relay or just the key switch?  
This 
happened on a damp night, although the E-10 is under cover.

hi all, i had this same thing happen while working on the e10 and the wind 
blew the hood down suddenly and started the traction motor.  the key was 
off 
too.  problem was not the key, but one of the relays that got jarred when 
the 
hood slammed shut.  it got fixed by someone else so cant say exactly which 
relay it was, but there aren't many on the e10.  good luck, jon k
