Default starter solenoid

On the 1st solenoid should the yellow and red wire short to ground. engine starts fine so I would assume if it was shorted all the time it would kick breaker or fuse. Is this correct?

if your checking it with an ohm meter it would show short to ground but that is thru the coil in the Solenoid .... what are you trying to check?

Checking continiuty (beep) for bad wires. Having bad noise through speakers. Checking all wires to if any are touching together or ground. Anything at this point. Yellow and red beeped. doing some more checks. when i checked 2 small post it showed 5ohms. I didn't think it would show anything.
