Thanks Jimbob,
That looks like an internal short, dragging many amps thro the connector, which is poss a bit corroded so its acts like a resistance, and will get very hot, melting and setting fire to the casing. I still think it will melt the wire insulation causing most of the damage. So an inline fuse it is, I would prefer to fit it next to the source, eg the car battery, so it protects against any damage to the wire feeding the sounder. Any ideas as to the best position ?.

Agreed. Not sure where the really thin part of the PS wiring starts. The feed from the fusible link probably ends up in the fuse box in the dash, so, at a guess, I'd say that's where the weedy wiring begins. This would tally with evidence of fire damage in this area too.
