<VV> 64 Starter Short/Fried Brake Cable

[Doug Foust]

Help.  Starter appeared to be bad (just clicked) so I just put in Clarks 
rebuilt w/ solenoid.  By what I thought was coincidence, the emergency brake 
cable broke right where it passes out of the tunnel at the rear.  Turns out 
it was melted.

I know this because I installed the new brake cable at same time, tried 
starter once before reattaching bottom tunnel and toe tunnel.  Seemed fine.  
At next try, starter would not stop, even with key turned to off.  I 
disconnected battery quickly to stop it.  Cable clearly arced and fried in 
two again, same place.  It was not touching the hole where it passes as near 
as I can tell.

If I reattach battery, still key in Off position, starter engages again.  
Anybody ever seen this?  Ignition switch?  Where should I look for short and 
how do I trace it?  I'm bummed - wanted to enjoy the long weekend with the 
top down...
