Best Answer

high resistance in your battery cables and low resistance in your starter from over heating or reversed battery connections at one time or another the combination togethe would create a large arc across the solenoid internal contacts possibly welding them togeter or over heating the solenoid winding resulting in no contact plate movement or starter running out of control

The negative cable actually is bolted to the engine block, and the positive cable will go to the solenoid that is attached to the radiator support.
