I worked on airplanes for years. There is no room for sketchy wiring on them. Shorts and unfused wiring have no place on any airplane.

Tugowar, if that wire would have had a fusible link in it in the first place, it wouldn't have burnt the harness.

I go over every inch of my wiring to make sure there's nothing about to short out. That along with proper looming, correctly sized fuses, and fusible links will keep you plenty safe.

Then, you can tighten your cable and sleep at night.
