In short negative terminal of second battery melted, starter now only clicks, all lights work, don't know what the problem is I need advice
For detailed account read on
So I went out to run some errands in my 09, it is my daily drive. After coming out of the store I went to start my truck and the starter made a clicking noise as if the battery was dead but all my lights still were working fine. I went under the truck to see if maybe the wires on the starter were lose,they were all good. I followed all wires from the starter, I realized that the terminal(negative) on the battery closest to the firewall had almost completely melted and also melted the connector on the battery wire. I towed it home and replaced the battery and the battery wire/connector. The starter is now making a weaker clicking noise but wont turn over I was wondering what the problem could be, my next thought is to replace the starter. Any help would be very much appreciated thank you
