Advice needed

As some of you know I've been broke down a few days away from home.
I thought it was the U V C H so I started to take off the drivers side.

When I took the hose/pipe off going to the turbo and undid that square box with all the wiring I found a bare wire that's been rubbing on the inter cooler pipe.

Anyone think that could cause C E. L and the truck to quit?

2002 f350 7.3

I'm posting from my phone which I just got so be easy on me thanks I'll warm up and check back

I guess I'll fix the wire and drive around town for a bit and see what happens

Well I changed the harness and valve cover gasket.
Didn't find anything burnt or seemingly out of place,but I've driven 20miles or so with no problems.
So maybe there was a problem under there but didn't show?
Think I'll stay one more night and head out. Through the pass early on the mornIng.

Good luck Brother. That's beautiful country you're going through. but its no place to be broke down. I spent a little time in Fort Nelson and I think the best mech worked at the funky museum on the edge of town! keep you in my thoughts.
