What I do to test the starter with out taking it out of the rig is run power directly do the starter and by pass all the electronics.

sometimes that can be as easy as taking a screwdriver and jumping the terminals directly on the starter. Or taking jumper cables and hooking it up to the battery

if the started responds then you know!!!!

happy Motoring

Why does energizing the starter solenoid cause a dead short on the battery and is there any circuit protection - 1982 Buick Regal?

No,there is no circuit protection between the battery and the starter. If the starter is causing a dead short to ground, there is definitely something wrong with the starter. Pull it and have it checked. The switch that engages the high current is inside the starter. If the starter is fried and perhaps something melted to ground, every time you engage it you will get a dead short.

Your battery might be dead or very close to dead. If the interior lights come on but go dim when you try to start then the battery is probably dead. Otherwise, get a new starter.
