John,
I'd suspect something wrong somewhere. You shouldn't be drawing that kind
of current to make your wires that hot. Also, you shouldn't have a red wire
going to ground.

Subject: DML: ground wire real hot?
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.
