The ''wire'' you kept shortening is a Fusible Link that needs to needs to run from the Positive battery terminal to the junction on the Passenger Side fender where it connects to the rest of the harness. You can get new fusable link wire at the auto parts store.
It's meant to melt thru with a system short and create an open in the system, so further damage can't occur. Unless you bypass it with straight copper wire. Then no fail safe.
