so is the starter not turning???
well, click this link http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/motor1.htm
when a motor looses the ability to turn under power because of broken connection(s) within the motor, the wound coils that are getting power just heat up. The motor itself heats up due to heat transfer. You see, when electrical engergy in the wire cannot be converted into mechanical energy, it gets converted into heat.

click on tech articles on the right
then click on starter.
It is toyotacentric but the principles are universal.

Whatcha talking about willis? You're also a noobbbb 
dont buy electrical stuff from autozone, pep-boys & krage. Warranty? yes, they have life-time warranty becuase they sell cheap quality rebuilt parts. If it was built right, then the warranty would be 12mos max. Think about it
