sixpotter 0 Posted September 7, 2011 Well I am latest on the list... Bought the in line fuse months ago and haven't fitted it, today the switch crumbles away and smoke bellows from the vents. @RSE. Butchered a vent out and grabbed the CO2 extuingisher but the smoke stopped before I opened fire! Battery now disconnected... So I guess I now need to order a new switch and loom.. Is the loom likely to be completely fried? Am I OK to drive the car round to my garage as I pulled the keys out and didn't want to put them back in! Finally, who's good at soldering and likes free beer :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 7, 2011 You'll probable find it's just the earth that's melted and you can replace this - I would remove it from the fuse box to inspect though as it may have melted some of the insulation on other wires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixpotter 0 Posted September 16, 2011 From first inspection the other wires look OK so fingers crossed. I need to drive it about 10 miles to get it sorted tomorrow so am hoping that with all fuses to do with lighting removed and the switch out I will be safe! Needless to say my new switch and wiring will being going in with a fuse... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sixpotter 0 Posted September 18, 2011 Thankfully only a few charred wires down to the back of the fuse box which was all repaired and the earth replaced. New switch in and all is well, until the next thing.. Hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
