Burnt up one starter and it keeps draining the batteries

Hello,

This could be a problem with the ground straps coming from the engine to the body and the straps from the body to the negative battery terminal. There could be a loose connection and/or corrosion on the connections, and/or a damaged strap that is not allowing the current to return to the battery. In the diagrams down below I have included guides on how to inspect ground connections and a guide for measuring damaged parts of an electrical circuit, called voltage drop. You will need to use a Digital Multi-meter[DMM] for the later tests, so here is a link describing how to do that below, if needed:

Please go through these guides, inspect the ground straps, and report back here with what you are able to find out. We will go from there, if needed.

Thanks,
Alex
