I blew something yesterday trying to install a new alternator. Two contacts touched my air intake tube and blew.

The part was connected to the positive terminal of the starter solenoid.

The numbers on it are:

12V20A F070
EOVB-14A065-AA
^ Might be a 6

Anyone know what this part is?

Got the same part i think is blown, it was really hot when i pulled it out car starts fine, all the accessories still work? what is it?

took it apart and it looks like a resistor and it looks like it was on fire at one point and melted and it broke apart, any ideas?

i may be wrong, but i think it's a fuse link... 12V 20A?
Check your "user manual" that came with the car. It tells you which fuse links go where.

its the power lumbar switch, some how ours grounded itself out and had constant power from the battery (thats why my battery died) and the fuse/resistor blew

That is a circuit breaker. readily available at any auto parts store. 12v 20amp
As far as fusible links... look at your pic.. the ring terminal on top of the cb strap... see the thick rubber on the ring that is a fusible link.

if it were a circuit breaker he could just reset it and it would work. breakers don't get replaces just reset.
