Do you know which wire burnt. Pedal switch may be burnt and active.

Have seen examples where voltage regulator goes bad, cooking the brown wire and feeding the solenoid r/w wire causing continuous "starting".

Bigstik had a great post. You need to start testing things leading up to the switch until you find what arched or grounded out. Is there anything else that looks burnt?
