My broncos only problem I have is that red wire hanging on the bottom gets hot only when i turn igntion all the way over before i start it. I traced the wire it splits into another brown one that goes to solenoid and igniton control module. It runs good but the wire just stays hot almost to the point of melting but it doesnt theres no shorts anywhere else.
