I have a new starter that i bought. When i try running a cable from the same battery to the new starter, it spins and runs continuously. Mind you, the battery cables get very hot when i do this.
What exactly does this mean?
I always thought that no matter what, the key should at least make the starter that it has now to try and turn over(even if dies).
What do you think i should i do next?
