I do things... Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California |
I'm out busting up the corners and such and I hear this loud thud from the rear trunk. Then "smoke" starts coming up out of the center pad between the seats.
I knew what it was right away. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) My unsecured fire extinguisher blew all over everything. Moon dust... May show pics (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

Take the previous suggestions seriously. It's corrosive to our old wiring. If it were me, this is what I'd do: 1. Vaccum out as much as I could. 2. Drape a blanket over the engine compartment, and then used compressed air to blow out as much as I could. 3. Remove EVERYTHING from the rear trunk, and start cleaning it all meticulously. This means your ignition unit, the rear tail lights, everything. 4. Then clean the wiring harness like it was a surgical instrument. 5. Get some dielectric grease and coat all your connections. 6. Reassemble. -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |
