[DML] Re: Need help (Electrical Failure Starting A Fire)





Regarding Point #1:

See the pic of my melted headlight switch in #5939's photo album.
Plastic was on fire, with flames visible from driver's footwell.
Ground wire also melted through the harness in a couple of places
under the console -- could eventually have set it on fire as well
(console is only made of cardboard after all).

Add an inline fuse BEFORE the switch.
