I was driving my Challenger this morning and I wanted to test the parking lights while I drove around just to make sure everything was running good. But less than five minutes with the parking lights on, smoke rolled out of the dash behind the light switch. When I pulled it apart, one of the wires that "I" made burned up. The jacket burned right off of it. The end connections were not scored and a second wire that was attached to the wire was not burned, just the main wire that is only about 4 inches long.
I assumed that I did something wrong when I made it but I am also wondering if the piece of wire that I used could have been the issue. It was just a loose wire that I had in my wire collection.
This wire was attached to my head light switch on the next reply. The second wire (blue) feeds the light bulb on my A/F gauge and that wire was not affected. All of my turn signals still work so it appears to be just the connection at the switch.
What do you think I did wrong?
Thanks
