Fire? I just wanted a lighter!
Just came in from the garage where I experienced some minor heart palpatations! On Friday I received an order from LMC that included a new cigarette lighter for my '69. Hey - gotta charge my phone Jack! (Si Robertson reference)
Anyway, I disconnected the battery and slid the spade connector on the red wire from the lighter onto the "Cig" prong in the fuse cluster. Reconnected the battery and the cab was filled with smoke by the time went back to check. The red wire was completely fried - I disconnected it before it did any collateral damage. The lighter assembly is OK. What the heck just happened?
