Question
 Luke Emery peaugeot 205 1100 1992
can anyone advise why my earh wire has burnt out. i turned the key to start the engine when i noticed smoke coming from the bonnett which as it turned out was the plastic from the earth wire melting right back into the fuse box. none of the fuses were blown though. i cut off the yellow plug and rewired with a length of new wire to the earth using femasle spade type connectors but minute the i reattached the battery the same thing happened again. any one out there have a clue because i dont?

disconnect the earth you have an issue with adn check continuity between battery neg and chassis.
it could be that wire is taking all the current.
