When you ran your own wire was it the same gauge as the factory wire?

It sounds like you did some damage when that wire caught fire. See if any other wires melted.

There is no ground wire to the starter. The starter has a signal wire and a power wire that goes directly to the battery. The starter is grounded by metal on metal connection to the tranny.

There's a ground wire on the tranny and another on the valve cover. That's it.
