The main power lead to items like that should have fusible links, not fuses. Rule of thumb is +4 gauge from the wire it is protecting. 10 ga wire gets a 14 ga link, 12 ga gets 16 ga links.

Look at those wires, they were boiling. Did it melt that insulated post they were attached to? What went to that post, the FP, fans & alt BAT lead? What else?

Do yourself a giant favor, call Mark at MAD and at least order his tech book. He is hard to get through to, he is basically a one man shop, and remember he is on cali time. His book makes wiring way easier to learn. Tell him what happened, the guy is a walking auto electrical encycolpedia.
