I disconnected the wire from the fuse panel. and that stopped the overheating wires. Now the car idles rough and there is no power. I can live without the courtesy lights and cigarette lighter. So my question is what other electronic components gets its source fron this circuit that I can safely bypass.

Mrame,
Disconnecting the power line from
fuse #18 would disable the following:
interior lights
clock
glove & luggage compartments
cigarette lighter
FV (frequency valve).
Without a working
FV, you would experience inconsistent and rough engine speed. Also check your relay at this point. Something is over-loading the circuit, one of the many components is surely causing this problem. How many wires were connected to the fuse? Two? Keep us posted.
