Yeah nice. It was still holding.

Electrical test of the starter is necessary. The only wires capable of melting a battery terminal post are starter and NATO port. Also check communication kit wiring, if truck has it.

Yup NATO cable, welded to the troop seat.

Get rid of that set of cables. Unless you need it in place. I would remove it from the truck and discard it. Or get 4 nice clamps and make a good heavy set of jumper cables. Good Luck. I knew it was a dead short. But didn't know you still had the power cables flopping around in the bed.

Me either, never game them a thought were ziptied up. Was planning on removing anyway when removing troop seats to re-do them.

Thank you to everyone on the website for helping out and giving me the confidence to get this taken care of the 1008 is back up and running. the power surge backfed through the alternator wires and smoked all these feasible links for fusible links rebuilt later back and running

If you need the factory wiring/fusible links, let me know. I have a complete set and if I remember right, they were uncut and not modified. Came off for a motor swap and were never reused....

Zip ties and PVC insulation do not play well together. Why? PVC is a rigid plastic, think pipe. To make it flexible, oils called plasticizers are added. Zip ties are nylon and can leach out these plasticizers, making the insulation brittle.
