I was driving car and it quit. Looked under the hood and the negative cable clamp had partially melted where the cable came undone. Eventually got it to restart to get home.

Had the battery checked , they charged it and put a new neg cable and clamp on. Have not been able to get it to crank and the battery cables and the starter are super hot to the touch. I have been having trouble with the starter clicking for a little while. Could the starter be the problem in making the cable so hot and not starting?

Thanks
