Here it is:

* Negative (-, aka earth/ground). Stock cable is BLACK with Yellow stripe. It connects directly to the engine block at the oil pump. The engine end of this cable also has a smaller black wire. This is the main body ground and connects to the body at the Horn bolt

Sounds like your engine earth cable is not connected.

When it is missing, it will go through any avaialble wire, including the small alternator earth -- or the clutch cable.

Fix it before the small wires burn up!
