If you look at the second photo, the fourth conductor from the left seems to got the hottest. This is most likely the one the heater was on.
You may need to get some wire and wire nuts to extend some of the conductors. Use electrical grease inside of the wire nuts.
You are correct sir, thank you. I luckily look to have enough extra length of wire that I won't have to tag on any extensions. The neutral wires all seem to be nice and tight but could that just mean they were dirty or maybe that the heat fused them to the bar?
I'm going to get everything all cleaned, rewired, greased and put back together and give her a shot (after I double check my insurance it payed up, hahaha). Thank again for the help.
