Hi Nick,
Welcome to the forum.
A picture says a thousand works so this may help in the diagnosis.
Have a look at PanteraPlacefor great information. Look in the Technical section and electrical diagrams for your car.
Be carefull during your 'check for smoke' testing as full battery voltage is supplied via the ignition switch / amp meter and either are quite expensive to replace if damaged by excess current. Replacing damaged wires in the loom would be a real pain.
I suggest using an ohm meter to see what you have for resitance to a good ground. Look at which wire is burnt and remove one wire at a time to help find the culprit. The wiring may have been altered at some time in your Pantera's life so manually check for where the wires are going.
Let us know what you find and post some pictures of your car.
