Re: BROWN WHITE Striped wire from the Ignition switch Burnt what can cause this?
The brown/white wire is the field wire for the alternator, what type of alt do you have? I assume when you replaced the wire you didn't install a resistor (type of alt will determine value). the resistor limits current flow to from the alt protecting the regulator or diode trio. Your problem is either a short or over current.
Edit, I see Vettevet posted while I was typing but we are pretty much saying the same thing it would be good to know what type of alt you have.
