I have a 2000 Sterling dump truck.Cat C10 engine. It has been giving me trouble by not starting when I press the start button. After continually pressing it, it would start. I thought it was the start solenoid on the left fender. While changing it, I arced the wire to the starter. Now I have no power to either side of the maxi fuse or any power to the engine or cab. Headlights won't even come on. No power at ignition switch or any fuses. I only have power from the battery to starter. If I jump the two large wires at the solenoid, the starter will spin the motor but nothing else.
Where do I start looking for problem?
