Hello my name is Frank. I bought a new starter and installed it. I turned the key and I got the same one click noise as before. I had 2 options as to my my starting issue. #1 the starter was bad #2 the ignition starter switch. Since I got the same response as before I thought well fine it is the switch. However as I was sitting there I saw some smoke coming form under the hood. The wire from the starter relay under the hood to the starter was melting the housing. Took the new starter back. they tested it. Bad. Tested my old one. Good. OK, but what do I do now? Melted wire housing and the wire is wrapped up with a bunch of other wires. I had replaced the relay a couple of weeks ago when the not starting issue came up. Should I replace it? No other wires seem to be melted just that one, But I have no idea if any of the wires wrapped together have been affected. Also is it possible that somehow I fried the new starter? When they put on the machine to test it it shut the machine down and they tried 3 times with the same result. I bought new wiring to replace the melted one The end of the wire going to the relay is in a harness of sorts but seems to me that is just a way to hold it together and make it easier to connect the 3 wires attached to relay. This is a 1994 Mazda b4000 v6 4WD basically a Ford ranger
