Hopefully you didn't need to be told to keep your equipment clean in the first place, certainly you have been told at least half a dozen times in answer to your post. I suspect that isn't what lead to your problem. A guy who doesn't know enough to keep his equipment clean probably has a hard time finding his way home each night so I won't insult you by giving you such advice.
I can state however that adding electrical components without proper fusing is a recipe for disaster. Most car fires that I have known of have been caused by some sort of attempt at just that. As one of the other posters related with his battery cable story, it isn't going to shut off until it burns up, the battery runs out or you break the connection which in your case should have been broken by a blown fuse. You were very fortunate to have gotten off so cheaply. Don't dream of doing it again.
