I've asked a few people but still dont know what could have happened to thie wiring in this car.
I bought a 70 cuda 440 automatic and its completely dismantled, as I started puttnig it together I noticed the main dash wiring was burnt badly. It seems to have started from the number 23 location on the wiring block. it completely burnt to bare metal. The wiring coming up through the harness completely melted fusing alot of the wiring that was running right near it it the harness. This wire goes up into the harness and is spliced up there, from there it goes up to a light in the dash and over to what im assuming is the door buzzer on the other side of the dash. It also goes to the wiring that plugs into the column, it doesn't appear to have gotten up into the column or through the connection so im thinking that's ok. I've bought a new year one harness and by the time im done with the car all the wiring will be new but would like to know what caused it, and ideas??? Thanks, Dan.
