Is this the starter from the LT1 that you know for sure works? If it cranks as soon as you connect the +bat without turning the key then either the solonoid is shot or the small trigger wire on the starter has somehow been made hot. Disconnect the small wires on the starter and see if it still activates when you hook up the +bat. If it does, it is the solonoid. If not, it is a problem in the wiring to the ignition/start switch. Those small wires at the starter are low amperage for trigger only. There should not have been anough load on them to melt them like you say. Maybe the solonoid is shorted out inside and causing it?Tracy
