The short red wire connects power from one fuse to the other instead of having two longer leads from the power source. Definitely replace the fuse holders. I recommend replacing the fuse holders with fuse holders from an automotive parts store, if you can mount them close to the power source.. They use flat, automotive type fuses instead of the glass fuses you're currently using.
