'91 Spirit electrical short
I have a '91 Dodge Spirit 3.0 with an A604 transmission. I just bought it along with it's electrical problem which wouldn't let it start because a wire would burn up when the starter was energized. So I'm still burning the harness by the left strut tower when I try to start it. I have gotten it started and driven 90-100 miles but this short seems to be intermittent or... I'm getting a little confused over all these wires, etc. Two wires are heating up (SMOKING), A61 16DG/BK going to splice 25 and A14 14RD going to the A00 splice. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: electrical short
Did someone jimmy-rig the starter with a wire that was too small and it can't handle the current? What gauge is the wire that keeps smokin' up.

Re: electrical short
The wire to the starter is quite big and has never heated up.Two wires are getting HOT. Both come from the AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY. A61 is a 16ga. Dark Green wire with a BlacK stripe (16DG/BK) and A14 is a 14ga. Red wire (RD). A61 goes to socket 8 SBEC, the fuel pump, and the injectors (both circuits seem to work OK).On the other side of the AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY A14 goes to socket 3 SBEC and splice A00. Both burn to the splices where the wire becomes big enough to handle the current. I got some used harness wire and replaced the burned wires with the same.
