I don't believe there are any splices on the red wire. To me, the problem is probably somewhere on that diagram you sent so I can't wait to go work on the car this weekend.

This is not my specialty guys, so if this idea is too off the wall, just say so. Won't hurt my feelings.
Just sitting here thinking about this...could this be a bad ground on something? An item missing it's ground wire? Thus it is seeking a ground through the body? That could explain why there are no blown fuses, as the bulk of the amps are being consumed by the device?

That would also make sense. Did you watch the video? Also I'm just asking where it is because I can't find it online and I'm not there to follow the wires. I. Just trying to plan ahead for sunday. And there was one blown fuse but I don't think it's blown again but I haven't checked. The number 8 fuse blew which I believe is the lights or the radio. One of those. Is have to look it up again.

I have a question... how are your skills to really dig up into the wiring ?
Believe it or not, wiring is easier than it appears. Myself I would remove all the wiring from the car and check it furtherly. Still being in working order, it's 50 years old and could be soon to fail, so will be a preventive check. Our car wirings are not more than check for burnt spots and fix those, remove wrong splices and restore and clean up terminals or replace ( specially packard ones ). No Nasa Science around this. Underdash harness are usually really EASY to fix no matter if you are able to see maybe hundred of wires coming and going. They don't get hard damages and just some spots here and there. You could save time just making a full harness checking job what it could take just a weekend, maybe 3 days on a bench. That will save more time than track a failure after failure.
Some ppl uses to run to get new harnesses on $500-600 rate, when with maybe $50-70 ( sometimes just $20 ) and some welding wire skills you can a full harness completelly rebuilt. Of course if the bulkhead conector needs replacement, will add $80 more.
Engine harness is the one what uses to need more replacements, even easier to check, but hardened covers and sulfated ends makes them need a full replacement.

I could probably do that. My only problem is that Im not able to work on the car on back to back days. I can only go down once or twice a week.

Once you remove a harness, you can take it home with you.
If you don't have one, get a factory service manual so you have the diagrams.
