Ok...
I JUST rewired my truck w/ a new solenoid.
I think I might have gotten the 2 wires on the solenoid backwards because when I fired the truck it continued to try and start, so I yanked the power wore off teh battery.
I reconnected the solenoid the other way and I got nothing.
I ran straight power to the starter and it just "buzzed"
is the starter shot?
I sure hope not... its brand new and I just got done putting my headers and exhaust on, and modifying the crossmember so I could run straight pipe (notched it a bit and reinforced it)
Whats ur opinion?
Im pretty sure its starter but wanted to make sure before I unbolt exhaust and drop the headers
