I think I had a loose connection on my positive battery terminal last week ( I had taken it out to use in my jon boat with my kids) LSS, I started and ran it for about 15 mins and then killed it when i got it back on the trailer ( was doing bunk boards) went to click the trim and it would not work, smelled something burning and looked back, opened box and it almost melted the post. I replaced the lug and hooked it back up and it just clicked, took cowling off and the wire from the bottom of the starter soleniod to bottom of the starter was cooked and so was the bottom screw on the starter. I got a new starter today and put it in..still just clicks, did I cook the starter soleinoid also? I know on old trucks that click was a faulty voltage regulator. I have 12.3 showing at the top of that solenoid and the starter ground connection.
Soleniod is cheap, like $12, is this likely the issue?
