Red wire with some crispy insulation.... Options

[advman89]

I'm in the depths of a full dash replacement and I'm need to figure out a situation.

I have a couple things to address.

FUSE 11 (Hazard / Interior Light) has never worked-dead short immediately. I thought I remember someone saying that I need to look at the ground under the passenger seat and the passenger door switch as possible issues there. But I also have a some weirdness with the Hazard too...

There is a new square relay installed and some wires cut in from the factory hazard switcher. The turn signals are all working, but I need to get the hazards operational.


And on top of that, I discovered this red wire, long melted...will splice in a new wire, but thought the group might be able to point me in a direction.

I know I have a color wiring chart...off to the archives for it to start looking for things.

The ground block was removed last night, wires properly soldered together. Fuse block will get installed once the Great and Almighty Bezos delivers it.

Harness is re-tapped with the good stuff.

I've been keeping a good eye out for sharp edges.

Next up--Let's tackle that switcher and hazard wiring nightmare...


Thank you all!!
