Smoke and flames from under the dash!

[Zone47]

Ok, at least smoke..... the flames weren't too far behind. Holy crap I was freaking out.

Luckily I was able to rip the hot lead off the battery before the flames set in but somehow the key switch decided it was time to short out. You'd think a fuse would blow somewhere.

I pulled the switch out and the connector apart and the purple solenoid wire got melty. I'm not sure how to get the switch further apart but am afraid it is one of those things that will come flying apart and I'll never get it back together.

Can you buy replacement switches (in dash for a 67 or 68)?





Soo... ACC is on top, Solenoid is underneath it, Batt on the right, ground 1 and 2 on the bottom.... and IGN on the left.
