Hey guys,

 I was doing some work on the truck the other day when I noticed that the
batery ground wire (Red wire that goes from the neg terminal to the body
panel that the hood latch bolts to) was steaming off the WD-40 that I had
just squirted on it. I touched the bolt that holds it into the panel and it
was so hot it burned my fingertip (don't worry guys I'm ok). Anyways I was
wondering what might be causing this. I'm not much of an electrical guy so
any suggestions would be great. For all I know this is normal, I just can't
remember it ever being that hot.
