Hi. Went to start the truck to go back to work and on turning the key BIG cloud of black smoke from under the bonnet! On inspection found earth wire from starter solenoid to chassis melted! Would this be caused by sticking solenoid? Have ordered replacement but wont arrive till end of the week 'cos of bank holidays!!

Bad connection to chassis or starter motor shorting out internally
