    ^But he said it was only the aftermarket alarm wiring that is melting; not the OEM stuff.
    [That's why I wondered about the gauge...]

    you must have a small short or a resistance in the engine harness. no way that should ever be hot.
    what voltage is your alternator putting out? (measured not with the stock gauge)

    The in-dash volt meter? I don't think I'd trust its accuracy.

    mine also reads like 16-17 volts but no way. according to the sparkys (electricians) at my work smaller wiring = greater resistance, so higher wire temps. i had to inquire about it before my wiring job.
