Re: More problems (ZR-the one)
Sounds like you have a pinched/shorted a hot wire somewhere. Most likely in the starter ckt. If you have a manual chase the ckt that fried in the wiring diagram.

Tyler:I connect the ends of the melted wires an give it a try it start right up but as soon as I shut her down and try again I knew it would not start since the security light was on , the security light tell me it is VAT related , can a bad starter do that??

Re: More problems (ZR-the one)
The wire you talk about is a fuseable link, poorest excuse for a fuse I ever saw. You should replace it with a fuse or another fusable link. If that wire is shorting then you need to find the cause of the short which is why you need a maual to figure which ckt it is. Once you correct that you can addresss the security light.

Re: More problems (ZR-the one)
Just thought I would put in my fix to a problem I had like that. One of the fans to radiator froze up, burned fusable link twice until we found the smoked fan motor. Maybe, HMMMMMM. GOOD LUCK
