80 Amp fuse
I just rebuilt my 22re, haven't even started it yet. The first time I hooked up my battery, the white/black stripe wire coming off of the alternator melted and then the fuse blew. I followed the harness back to the fuse box to assess the damage. It only melted on the driver's side. I replaced the damaged wire with a thicker gauge wire from the alternator to the fender wall and replaced the 80 amp fuse. I hooked up the battery and the fuse blew again, but I left it hooked up for a minute and the new wire did not melt. What is the most logical way to troubleshoot this problem?

The white wire with a black stripe is a ground. Hopefully someone else can learn from my mistake. I was going by a rather misleading picture. I will report on the damage tomorrow. I'm hoping that it was only that fuse.
