Looking for some advice regarding my 1973 charger.  The pink/battery wire on the column harness gets extremely hot to the point that it is scorching the plastic on the harness.  Any thoughts?  More grounds needed.   My gauges supplied by the voltage limiter do not work and neither did the limiter.  I removed the limiter and did not replace it, but did not think it could cause this problem
Thank you

That strip connector is the weak point. Large wire into thin metal rolled slip connector acts a resistor. I've connected outside the strip and also rewired much of that load using 40amp control relays fed buy a secondary harness off ALT. output.

Sounds great
If I only bypass the battery wire, should I use an inline fuse?
Thanks
