Subject:A/C HOT wires!!

Okay. I found my 50 amp A/C fuse and relays.
But the wires get so hot that I can only hold the large red one for about a
second before it is too painful. Nothing looks fried, but these hot wires do
not seem right to me. From a quick glance at the archives it seems I am not
the only one with these hot A/C wires. I think I also remember some posts
that report that fires have started here. The one solution that I found
there suggested replacing the wire connectors on the theory that a small
amount of corrosion inside the connectors would cause this heating of the
wires. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
