What would cause the positive red wire for the electric fan near the battery to start melting? The wire melted until it diconnected itself (the first 6 inches of the wire). When I turn the car on (after it's been running hot) and touch what's left of the wire to the positive terminal on the battery, the fan kicks on, and the wire again starts smoking.

Need help!! It's hot (..melting) without a fan in Houston!!

Did you hardwire the fans yourself? If so what guage wire did you use. Gotta have more info with these type of problems to be of any help. If the wire is melting either it is too light for the current, or there is something drawing too much current. I'll bet the fan stopped working for some reason and it was hardwired.
