so what melted the wires? i cant find anythign that would cause it to melt, maybe because all my ground straps are gone, would that cause it? or would having a bigger wire from the battery cable to that block send too much current?

Hmmm, I forgot you said it melted...it is probably not wired properly somewhere or grounded out.
