My truck has been giving me fits all week.

Started out the starter was giving me trouble so I replaced the solenoid. That didn’t fix it so I replaced the starter.

After that I replaced the battery because it was dead. The new battery started the truck right up so I thought all was good. Next morning the new battery was dead and the regulator was making noise. I replaced the regulator last night and jumped the car. I went to crank the starter and it stuck on causing the battery terminal to smoke and heat up. I got it all disconnected before I caused a fire. I know there is a short somewhere.

I’m down to:
-Bad new solenoid
-bad ignition switch
-wiring short under the dash

I’m still stumping and will keep updating this.
