what are these 2 things on the left for? and all these nuts? do you use them with the lock washers to attach wires to the gauge?
(I am assuming the top 2 nuts are for studs on gauge if you are mounting directly into the instrument panel)

initial wires that melted: 2 stranded green wires that connect to a ring terminal to power, other ends then split off each into 1 red and 1 red white (so 2 red and 2 red white total, with 2 green)

noticed this whack attachment of this black wire instead of a ring terminal. possibly rubbed and exposed wires on other wire?

2nd round, these wires melted on driver side, near air cleaner. yellow pieces attach to vacuum lines. not sure what this whole thing is? connects to pigtail that had a red/white wire, potentially same red/white wire as from 1st melted green wire?

trailer hitch light. if you notice, the wires for Tail Ground and Left Turnstop are all attached, but for some reason the green wire (The one that had been exposed) is cut and instead spliced to some random unknown green wire leading into car

exposed green wire. green and yellow wires are somewhat connected side-by-side, how do you replace this kind of wire? can't really cut strip and use butt connectors when you have these two sets of wires basically attached but not electrically connected

relay where wires had melted 2nd time around. what is it for? (friend says: heater choke relay). none of numbers show up when searched, not sure how to replace it. thought maybe there was an issue with this, that's why wires had melted right by it, and that's why I wanted to replace it.

pigtail off of relay: can see exposed wiring where it got hot and melted when I started the car.
