Car/relevant mods
Edelbrock supercharged FRS
Delicious tuning flex fuel and dbox
DW fuel pump/injectors
2017 stability control module swapped
Symptoms:
Right as I pulled into a parking lot from a casual drive the car died -all electronics cut out entirely as if the battery was disconnected and engine stalled. From there the car struggled to start, although when started would run normally until the electronics cut again seemingly randomly at which point it would stall. After the first stall the power steering was gone and the power steering light was on the dash. Didn't matter how many times I started the car after the electronics died and the car stalled, nor how long it was running between stalls -power steering remained dead (aka steering was quite heavy).
What I found:
Limped the car home just a few miles and found the positive battery terminal cover had melted. There are two sets of cables connected to the positive terminal harness, and the cables on the right began to melt the insultation around them. One of those was the wiring for the water pump for the s/c heat exchanger. I checked both the fuse and the relay for the edelbrock water pump and neither looked distressed. I checked the fuse boxes in the engine bay and also under the dash and no fuses looked dark or burnt (although I didn't pull any fuses).

I'm an electrical noob and don't know what to look for next. Help.
Thanks in advance!
