So far the large wire from the alt,goes in the cab and back out to the cond. fan is melted. Thats pretty much the whole harness. We can find no cause.YET. Lots of other little wires are melted too.

That sucks. I'd hate to have to put a new harness in. Sounds like there were a lack of proper fuses?
