QuestionQUESTION: I replaced my melted starter and we have to put a wire with push button and 30amp fuse in to engage the solenoid since the original solenoid wire was melted. We started it, it ran fine but melted the starter again.
Could the 30 amp fuse be a problem or do you know a better way to fix this meltdown.
ANSWER: It melted the starter? You have way too much voltage/amps going to the starter. It needs to have the factory size fuse and or relay going to the starter. I would check for shorts in your system as well Jerry something is not right at all.

QUESTION: yes,
The first starter was melted with the solenoid wire crispy. I put in a push button switch for the solenoid since the wire from the ignition was fried and no longer worked. I used a 30 amp inline fuse. However the second starter also melted.
I started it quite a few times with the push button loop I put in and it worked fine. When I drove it for about 30 minutes and shut it down the starter was melted.
How do I stop the starter meltdown?
ANSWER: You have waayyy to many amps going to the starter. I would check my wires and I bet you will find a short in your system somewhere.

QUESTION: Sorry the 1st starter solenoid wire melted. The second starter plastic melted and the remote starter wire we put in melted.
I think the starter is ok. I just want to hook up the remote starter wire properly before trying it again.
How would you install a remote starter wire properly?
AnswerWell you need one hot wire to the battery to the switch(which needs to have a fuse!!). one ground to the frame. Why do you need to have a remote switch though?? I would highly highly recommend having this professionally serviced as I cannot look at it myself.
