Hey, new to the forum. I have a Lincoln Mig Pak 10 that recently developed an issue and was wondering if anyone had heard of this or knows how to fix it. When I plug the welder in I hear a buzzing noise inside even when the power is switched off and when I ground the gun to the ground clamp it will flash like it is welding, even with the power off. when the power is on I can hear the fan on and the wire feed works, im using flux-core wire so no gas. I can start welding on whatever I'm working on without squeezing the trigger, the only thing the trigger is doing is feeding the wire. Seems like I have power going to the gun at all times? Any help would be great! Thanks.

check any relays inside the machine sounds like 1 is stuck
opened the welder tonight, seems like when I plug it in theres a relay or a switch or something on the circuit board that clicks and then the big metal coil thing in center of the machine starts humming. the little black relay thing is the second one in from the left side and is right below a connecter with 7 or 8 wires coming from it, any ideas?
