Hello Posi, FYI, I did modify several posts and deleted a couple as well that did not add to the thread.
Another note: EVERY new members first 5 posts are moderated and must be approved by a moderator, sometimes we don't see that the post needs attention.
I'm confidant that you will get the answers you need here.
As to the wire "melting", I 'd just guess that it is shorted out somewhere. Bartamos will walk you through it, I am sure.
