I installed a reman in my 91 vert about a month ago and I didn't have a problem till yesterday. I came out to my garage and smelled something burning. So i popped the hood and found out to my disgust that the starter wires were getting friend and smoke was coming out of it so I disconnected the negative battery cable. Is this a symptom of a short? How do I go about finding it? I did install a new driver side power window switch but I do not think that's the problem since the driver's side window works now. Thanks for the help.

 

maybe the switch in the solenoid is bad.

 

switch in the solenoid for the power window could be bad?

 

bad grounds to engine can also cause that.
