wire melted... now what?

just bought this car...

i set the alarm on it...walk away for 15 minutes and i come back and the car looks all fogged up


all smoke.... so i disarm and opened all the windows

i found like 4 wires that were just cut laying there (not burnt) and one wire that was connected to a wire and after the connecter is burnt but it isn't connected to anything else.

no fuse was popped....

how do i go about fixing this....

do i just replace the patches of wire? or what do i need to find and look for?

Re: wire melted... now what?

trace the wires to see what they went to replace them if what they were connected to is still good and check your battery some shorts tend to fry batterys
