Re: Fire? I just wanted a lighter!

Ha! Yup, short to ground. That poor wire did all it could to empty the battery to ground. I'm sure that was a butt clencher! No matter how much I know about cars I'm always worried that a truck that lasted 46 years before I got it is gonna meet its demise because I did something stupid. Live and learn.

you might want to put a fuse in the new wire that you run for the lighter

Tell me about it. My first truck lived for over 40 years. I got it for 2 weeks and it burnt to the ground because of a fuel leak. Felt bad for months
