so i thought i had all my electrical problems fixed my starter was toasted so i bought a new one and 2 new batteries and a new starter relay. well today almost two weeks later i moved the truck around and turned it off and walked away. then i heard the starter spinning but it wasnt cranking the motor by the time i got the battery cables off it had already started melting the insulation off the wires. i pulled the starter relay and took it apart and the contacts had welded themselves together. then i let it cool down and tried to manually cross over the relay to make it start nothing no clicking cranking or anything just a dead short. did my starter die or my relay malfunction? what would cause this i thought i had it all fixed. but man was i wrong.
