Exclamation sssmokin

well just noticed some smoke after startup today out from the hood....took a peek and the glowplug wire( i know this because after i fixed it it started burning up again and goes away soon after the plugs cycle) burnt out of the plastic plug/harness that would sit on the fenderwell on the pass side. fixed it by just reconnecting the two wires on the outside of the plug and now its burning up further on down the wire near the solonoid. wtf? does anyone know what could be causing this??? any input would be great!!!

that sounds like a grounded wire. you need to trace it to see were it is makeing a connection to a metal surface. that is all i know to do
