Electrical problem
1994 Other Daewoo Models 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

A gray wire that is part of the interior illumination melt down. I had just covered it with a protective tape cause its melting produced short circuit and the car was not working. My question is: What is the cause of such problem, does what I did enough (the car is working now)? why the fause didn't melt to protect the wire? and how to make the car work (if such problem occurred in a deep wire that I can't see) before going to repair center ?
