Wiring problems of the 2000 Ford F-350

I have a F-350 crew cab superduty 2000, on April 13, 2010 my truck cut off with me in the middle of the road in wilmington nc, after getting the truck tow in to the garage, I found that the connect wire that hook up to the heads for the glow plugs in the head was bare wires there from the plastic. I am worry is this the reason it cut off on me in the middle of the road, cause they was touching one another and cause the truck to stop running & would not crank back up. The tubo tube run was beside this wiring that have about 5 or six wire coming out of the connection.

The contact stated vehicle turned off while driving. It just died. It varied at the speeds that the contact was going. The dealer changed various sensors. They could not duplicate the problem. They have repaired the wiring harness. On 9-16-05 the contact took vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the wiring harness. However, they were still experiencing the same problems with the vehicle just stopping. It will sometimes start back right away. Sometimes it will just not start, and one could wait 10 minutes and it will restart or may have to wait 2 hours before it will restart. This has been an ongoing problem for two years. The contact cited recall 05s34 on the same vehicle but just different year models.

While vehicle was parked consumer smelled burning wires. Vehicle caught on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. Vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection. State farm insurance made an investigation on the vehicle and said that the fire was caused by a design defect in the dash.

While vehicle was parked for 36 hours a massive electrical short occurred in engine compartment, resulting in a fire. The vehicle was totaled after the fire and fire marshal believed the vehicle was defective.

After vehicle had been parked for 36 hours massive electrical short circuit occurred in engine compartment which resulted in a fire. Please give any further details.
