The red electrical plug on the back side of the alternator is getting fried? What in the world would be causing that to happen?

Its the 'thick' wire right? If so, its very common on pre 94 'stangs, but shouldn't be on yours. Regardless, you have to get it replaced. Chances are a poor connection caused it to heat up.
