1985 Ford F-250 460, yesterday I had an issue with my truck which caused the starter solenoid to catch fire, the solenoid got stuck and grounded out on the voltage regulator. I replaced the solenoid hoping everything was gonna be okay but now I have no ignition power or power to cab any ideas of what could have gone wrong!
Took disable links out to see if those got fried still nothing
In this picture I see the large battery cable and a decent sized red wire(does that red wire go to the alternator?). Where are the other small wires, they should go eventually to a yellow wire or wires, that run in and feed the cab power.

Red wire is for sub and other side the wires do go to yellow
The yellow wires need to go to the battery side so you have power in the cab. The other side of the solenoid is only hot when the starter is turning over.
