Default starter motor stayed engaged

Started the car and the starter stayed engaged. Hit the off button and engine shut off, but the starter motor continued to run. Kept holding the off button and it took about 5 more seconds before starter stopped. Any ideas? Starter button bad? PCM? I've started it a dozen times since and it acted normal. Thanks!

Starter relay stuck maybe? In the fuse block under the hood.

This one here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1592161765

Could be the onset of a failing starter solenoid as well.

If it happens again, I'll try a new relay. Thanks!

Check voltages before throwing parts at it! It's a simple check. It could be a sticking starter solenoid, among other things...
