The on the back of the fuse block, the green fuse box connector got hot. Any idea where I can find one?

Its getting hot because there is a bad connection.
The increased resistance at the joint causes a lot of heat to be dissipated, as current flow through that resistance
P=I x I x R.

Take it apart and clean & tighten all contacts. Open and re-crimp joints (or solder) if you need to.
Protect from corrosion with vaseline or similar.

Ok, thanks. We think we found the bad connection

That white/blue stripe wire needs attention. It's a main power wire. Be sure to disconnect the batt.
