<VV> Melted wiring harness in the engine bay

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

You don't say where in the engine wiring harness the short occurred, but if  
it did not melt the wires as far as the connector with the body harness you  
should still disconnect that connection and see if the heat did any damage  
inside the connector connections.  I had a car that had a fuel leak fire  that 
then caused a short in the engine harness.  Even though the harness  wiring 
insulation didn't melt back to the body harness connector the copper wire  
transferred enough heat to discolor some of the connectors inside the connector  
harness.  (That's enough connection for me).
