Well im going to my 3rd alternator in 2 years. The burnt piece suppose to be a bolt just a little bit longer, but it keeps frying, in juncture, the cable connects to the power distribution box, and I believe it is the positive cable that it joins (on all our 94-95 mustangs). Anyone deal with this? What do I have to do to fix this.

If you have your alt tested, see if you blew a couple of diodes (when two in a row blow, it will often burn up the charge cable).

You can open the case and replace the charge stud. Here's an exploded diagram of a 3G alt if you open it up to replace the stud.

Good luck.
