When shorts happen these things are completely normal. Did it look more like corrosion than rust? Discoloration of the wires ?

I’d look for bad components, there’s most likely a short some ware in your system
Just examples of fried wire experience
I’ve had alternators short in 2 of my cars
First one when I was 17 and I didn’t know what a fusible link was all I knew was
That there was a wire coming off the positive terminal of my battery that looked corroded
So I replaced it with a bigger wire on, big mistake,
Had to replace the entire engine wiring harness “82 Nissan Sentra”
