Saab: starter, starter solenoid, fuse box


Question
i have a 99 saab 9-5 and the battery cought on fire and burned the power wire really bad and minor damage on the fuse box under the hood i replaced battery and all the wires even the one to starter and i know there is power going to starter and all the lights turn on but car will not start it just makes a clicking noise any ideas??

Answer
Anthony:
 The problem is most likely the STARTER SOLENOID, but could be the STARTER as well. The battery may have caught on fire from either of these being defective.
