if your talking about the one on or in the starter, you have a bad solinoid. This could be or come to be very serious, very quickly, for instance, if it sticks while the gears are engaged it will burn out the starter and maybe a feed back that could burn wires. A starter uses a lot of juice and the wires could get very hot if the starter sticks
