Was taking our newly restored 73 2.0 out for its second attempt and although the car is not dialed in yet (another challenge) we hit a problem when turning on the fog lights. After 1-2 min with the fog lights on it started to smoke and I immediately turned off the switch and it stopped.
I am confident that the harness was good because Jeff restored it. Any ideas what might have happened to cause this? Thanks |
