Q: i 95 3500 van 318 stopped blowing fuses and starting melting wires yesterday. so i followed the melting toi a little rubber box that mounts with three terminals to the top of the alternator... have no idea what it is. two little wires that are the right color to be fuel injection related green with orange i think that connect to two small terminals on the aternator and one large ground wire that attaches to the alternator frame and then to the engine block. the black box is a molded wire terminal for the field wires there is another lower down for the main power wire. one of the field wires orange is keyed battery voltage and the other green is a variable ground controlled by the pcm. the orange wire gets its power from a fuse #4 in the power distribution center if the orange wire is the one burned there is probably a short in the alternator. it is a green wire with an orange tracer the is fried; i dont remember the color of the other wire. it is spliced together with other 4 or 5 other wires that are also green w/orange and it appears that each of those routes to a fuel injector.... .
