But when I hold the button down I hear a high pitched squeal and see fumes go from my positive solenoid lead. I have no Idea what to do, I did what the manual says to check the solenoid and it was fine, I checked the starter also and it was fine, I have no idea where to begin to look for the problem. please help
1. you checked the bat and it had 12 something volts?
and you pushed the starter button and it still read 12 something volts?
2. you checked the starter and it was there with a wire hooked up to it?
or you hooked an ohm meter to it and it read a couple of ohms?
or you pulled it out and hooked a battery to it and it went whir?
You got any teeth left or should I go on?
