Join the 2 terminals together with the fuse wire. Should look a bit like this.

Owing to the OBVIOUS amount of current that must have passed due to the heat damage, I would be looking for a wiring problem before starting your own fireworks factory.

Correct m8,on the subject of dodgy wiring the engineers at our work got sick of the 13a fuse blowing on a portable welder so decided to use a bit of 6mm screwed rod

Best bet is to get a sparky in to sort out that install m8.
