It only melted the main ignition wire slightly but the switch was pretty much toast .... even if it wasn't toast, it was going to be replaced. Summit Racing had some perfect plug and play switches, so I bought that one and then installed a fuseable link for the next time it decides to tries to self destruct! |
We've both had the same kind of excitement. 
Where in the circuit did you install the fusible link? What guage fusible link did you use?
