Default 97 SL1050 melted ground wire???

Newby here, I have had a battery drain issue. Here's the deal. I purchased this sl1050 from someone who rolled it and had the mfd/display replaced. Since then, the display will not time out or it will stay on for days until I unhook the battery. I hook it up it is off until I plug in the lanyard. Not sure if this is the only drain but is one issue. Any suggestions on this or how to re-program the timeout??

Also, I replaced the battery over the weekend (didn't let it charge 16hrs since my charger said it was fully charged after two hours. I know, dumb. Anyway, once I hooked it up, the small ground wire hooked to battery going into the box smoked and melted the cover which leads me to believe I have a dead short somewhere or was this because the battery wasn't fully charged, etc. The display said 12.8 volts. I am not sure why I have two ground wires anyway, but any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated...
