A loose connection can cause heating in the wire too, so check both ends of the wire and the crimps. But as was mentioned, your voltage regulator may be the problem. Easy enough to test, just get you volt meter out and start the car, and check the output. Should be 13.8 to 14.2 volts...How's the fluid level on your battery. Many times, overcharging with boil out the battery liquid, and you get an acid smell too... Correct this before driving or you could be rewiring melted wires all over the car...
