Hey. My car is shorting on something and keeps blowing my main fuse. At one point a wire actualy got so hot it melted its insulation, I'm trying to find out what this wire leads to so I can fix the short. The wire that melted was coming off the positive terminal of the battery, and it was the smaller of the two red wires, it goes into a loom and I can't follow it. I have an 88 TII.

 

check the i/c see if it is touching the post on the alternator if not check the starter to see if the wires are touching good luck

 

it goes to the fuse box.

the bigger one goes to the starter
