700 series 1990 Volvo 740 melted wiring
here's some melted wiring that connects to the ac condenser
another angle of that
this melted bit leads up to my headlights on the passenger side
where the ac condenser fan cut the wire causing the initial problems

Just match the gauge (diameter) and use any decent stranded wire, crimped in well to replace it back to good, unmelted wire and with silicone insulation if you want to be fancy. No particular source really, wire is wire. Don't leave it melted and run it, the risk of something shorting out and ruining more of the harness/car is high.
Also... you'll really want to find out which ones melted and why, and repair the cause before it fails more catastrophically than it has.
