sometimes when i turn the key i get no lights or anything. found the red wire in the ignition switch connector getting hot. i figure there is probably a short somewhere but i figured i would post up and ask the experts before going any further. does anyone have any tips on where i should look first from here?

ok. here is what i have done.i have disconnected the ign switch connector. i have put in 2 jumper leads to connect the switch to the harness on the red wire(power in) and the orange wire(power out of the switch). this eliminates all other curcuits associated with this switch. the wires are still getting hot. the red wire coming from the harness side is way hotter than on the switch side. this leads me to beleive the problem is in the main harness somewhere. what would make that wire get so hot. it only puts out batt voltage. ive checked that many time its only 12 volts or so but it gets too hot. i think maybe something else may have lost a ground so its trying to ground through this circuit. but what and where? i know you cant tell me but maybe you have an idea of what may be happening. thanks for all your help
