Great story Highway! Surprised the battery had enough juice to start it. I was driving home one night from work in my 50's pickup and had a loose engine wiring harness touch the headers and melt down. It shorted out and the engine shut down.I raised the hood and the harness was glowing.I yanked the battery cable out of the cheap add on end and the damage was done. It was dark and all I had was a little moonlight to work by. I carefully separated the melted wires and wrapped the alternator wire with tape. I then reattached the battery cable and nothing shorted. I hit the starter and it started right up! I carefully drove home and unhooked the battery. Next morning I had to build a new harness. After that I had at least 1 good flashlight in the truck.
