I cranked my Mitsubishi D2050 over to start it and when I did the ground wire that goes from my Alternator to my the ground screw on the frame fried, smoked like crazy, melted much of the insulation along the length of the entire wire. I tightened down all the connections at the battery and starter (the battery cables were loose). I checked the fuses and they seemed fine too. I assume I have a short somewhere. Anyhow, I cranked it again after towing back to the house and I hear starter going "click, click, click, click" but it won't turn over.
The alternator is only about 1.5 years old. What should I do to trouble shoot this problem. Is the alternator fried, can I take it somewhere to have it checked?
