    If wires get hot it usually means it’s not big enough for the amps being pulled.

    So either your starter is internally shorted, your connection are poor, or either a power or ground cable is burnt up or missing.

    One or more of your batteries could be bad

    You need to find out why. For a really to burn up, your not feeding it enough “clean” power.

    You more than likely have bad connection, burnt wire, or both somewhere on the control side of the relay.
