Car stalled out at a light, friend found some wires melted together and replaced them. Now voltage light is on in dashboard and dims then brightens, I dont know what the problem is. Car is losing power somewhere.

Citation? There's still some of them runnin around in never land? I had a couple they were a good car. You mean battery light? Is battery draining? Have you tested voltage at battery when car is running? Should be 13-14v. Where were the wires melted at on car?
