Alternator wiring ?

What is your question?

So my alt.belt came off. I replace it. Then the wires connecting to the the alternator start melting and smoking. SO I replaced the plug. But again the wires and now the plug itself are melting ? What do I do - what is the cause of this ? Lets keep in mind I drive a tempo and money is an issue. Besides that the car has been excellent.

Something is shorting out. You need a wiring diagram to see nothing has continuity to ground and when you are done make sure no fuses or fuse links are "blown". Do you have a good volt/ohm meter? For a wiring diagram Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. and get an online repair manual subscription. For better theory of operation and diagrams, try Alldata which is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
