92047, melted wire Posted by scothern, Aug-03-05 05:52 AM
Okay, this is a weird one.
For those who have not changed their battery terminal (+) the positive one has that little grouping of 4 white wires. Well, I changed my battery terminal. So, I have a 4 gauge wire that runs my audio, a 4 gauge wire that runs to the alternator and a 4 gauge wire that runs to a distribution bloxk. the distribution block then conencts to those 4 white wires. I hope this still makes sense.
Well, i was headed home form work last week whe nthe car started acting funny. I get home, pop theh ood and lo and behold, those 4 white wires have melted into one big gooey bunch of wire.
Anyone know why or have any idea where they go so I can re-run them? thanks.

Sounds like one of your additional wires is shorted (if you didn't already know).
I think one goes to the alt, one to the starter, one to the main fuse box, one to the accessorie fuse box.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

In my black car, the 4 white wires are melted together and pose no problem for me. :shrug

Well mine is shorting out and tripping an engine code I guess I need to borrow an OBDII scan tool.

do they key on key off thing and read the flashy light, then get on here and look up what the code means.
