I am not the best with electrical either, but I took a shot at wiring the entire car with a pailess 18 circuit harness and weatherpak terminals, so it is entirely possible that I screwed up the wiring, but I hahd to have the RS headlight relay setup professionally wired because I just could not get it working right (turned out I had a bad brand-new headlight switch to throw into the mix - which would have taken me a year to figure out). So now who knows where the culprit lies. I have the main 0 gauge power wire coming from the trunk mounted battery, goes through the interior into the passenger kickpanel vent area. I used a DS&E firewall terminal, but I think that my crimp on the interior side may be loose causing heat and excessive draw, any way that I can isolate this without having to remove the kick panel?



btw, have I said lately how much I respect electricians! They are on the same level as good bodywork guys, unbelievable patience.

Also keep in mind, three things burned during this episode all in separate areas of the engine compartment, but I think they may all be on the headlight section of the harness, gotta check the schematic:

1) The DC Controller surge protector
2) The Headlight fuse
3) The main 50A power fuse
