Hey all.

I was trying to figure out my cars issue.

I installed a new battery. New cables from battery. Turn ignition. All i hear is the starter solonoid click. Thats it. No crank no nothing. Also there is a red wire underneath the steering wheel. Its a red wire with a white strip thru it is getting really hot. Almost melting. Can anyone tell me where to start looking? Could it be my starter?

Okay, I found my issue, The previous owner cut a hole into the fire wall running a new ignition wire to the stater solonoid and altenator. But seems to have used snips to make the hole. Making nasty metal points.. So it grounded out the wire melted and caused my pain stalking click noise. I appreciate all your insight.
