Feeling lucky

[AlaskaMatt]

So as I pulled into my driveway today smoke billowed into the cab about the same time my radio shut off etc.

I jumped out popped the hood to smoke sparks and carnage. The wire from the alternator to the battery had come out of it's crimp and shorted on the battery box. The entire 6 feet of wire was burning up. I disconnected the batteries ( I run duals ) and luckily there was no spread or flame up.

I didn't lose the entire harness. the insulation did it's job, most of the other wiring is intact.

So glad I didn't lose my rig to fire.

Tomorrow some re-wiring and some inline fuses.

Not the project I had in mind for the weekend, I guess my top lift frame will have to wait.
