    I have seen it many times, the starter will ground out through the power steering hose if the battery cable is loose/corroded. It makes you scratch your head the first few times.

    All of you was right. Mr Genius "angel" service guy at miami forget to connect ground to my engine after he took it off. So all ground went to hose what's somehow connected to the ground. Gear box high pressure air hose ... and more. So I had to change 3 times oil pump high pressure hose and break high pressure hose also my air dryer inside spring and fittings burned plus oil pump for gear box went out because oil went away. So it's about $4200! Because one wire! Learn pls and put additional ground cable from your battery to your transmission or engine.
