Start by removing starter and taking to any autoparts store and have it bench tested, it sounds like the starter is drawing way too many amps..
If OK, remove all plugs, remove FP fuse and turn engine by hand with a socket and ratchet on balancer bolt, engine should turn freely, if not you may have a broken piston ring.
