Hello,
Been a while since I poster. My 80 series is my daily driver. Pulling into my driveway last week, I smelled smoke, opened the hood and my wiring was on fire, see pics. I smothered the fire with my jacket or the damage would have been worse. Possible causes (1) chipmunks (2) I recently was stranded in Ft Smith AR with a security system issue. The delaership removed the security system. Driving home I noticed my horn, oil pressure gauge and low bam aux lights were not workin so they may have mis-wired something. But I drove it for two weeks afterwards with no problems until the fire. The current plan is to take it into a local mechanic in Grove ok for initial diagnostics. Questions- 1. from the pics would you say I need a complete wiring harness 2. do I need a mechanic with extensive LC experience 3. Would anyone havwe a shop recommendation for NE Oklahoma and 4. Any thoughts on the cause?
Thanks
Robert
