Headlight switch and loom fires.....DIY prevention
Stromaluski replied to CrazyDave's topic in Interior
I hadn't even noticed the picture while reading through the thread. And it's not so much that I was worried about it, but it's the kind of thing that if you're adding the fuse anyway, why not add it as far up the wire as you can? -

I realize I'm kinda new here, but I was about to do this on my car and realized a slight problem with these instructions. It's a brilliant idea, but the fuse is being put in the wrong place. If you put it that close to the switch, it will prevent a fire in the case of a short inside the switch. But, if there is a short inside the wire harness further back inside the car, then the fuse won't blow. I made a quick Microsoft Paint picture showing what I mean. In the picture below, with the short shown, the fuse at A isn't going to blow because the current would have a path that would bypass that fuse. However, a fuse farther up the wire, at B, WOULD blow, preventing a fire. I know the main cause of this problem is a short inside the headlight switch; but if this is something you have been meaning to do, why not put the fuse a little farther up the wire and prevent another possible (however unlikely) cause for a fire? -
Payment sent. Thanks, dude! :clap:

If it was all in Tan, I'd be ecstatic to hear about it and see pictures. I forgot to mention in my first post that the interior in my Corrado is Tan, so if possible, I'd like to find everything in Tan. If I don't have any luck, I'll definitely get in touch with you about the pieces from your Corrado, though. Thanks. :D

Looking for a nice set of manual seatbelts and all the associated trim pieces (A Pillar trim, B pillar trim, and center console/e-brake cover) to replace the automatic seatbelts in my '92 VR6 Corrado. Can anybody on the other side of the pond help me out? :D EDIT: If possible, I'd like to find them in Tan to match the rest of my interior. :D
