Truck wont start!

Hi,
Was just outside playin around with the fuel screw. Ended up shorting out the shutoff solenoid to something. Forgot a wrench. Anyways, saw some smoke on the fender by the starter relay... But in the little wiring that goes to the grids (i think)...

Now, I turn on the ignition, all the guages stay still, but all the warning buzzers, blower motor, lights work.

Starter will not go...


Truck is non i/c
Help!! Ideas?
