Re: Wiring Success...and a New Problem
You're no doubt right. Lurking in the background of all this is the
thought that I may not have corrected the condition that caused the
fire in the first place. Seeing even a wisp of smoke was enough to
cause me to panic after that,
I believe I will start over again tracing power to that switch and
recheck the resistence in the wires on the switch

Re: Wiring Success...and a New Problem
If the dome light is in question...then disconnect it and plug something
in its place.
A 12V brake light with some pigtails to connect in will work fine!
This will help determine if it is indeed shorted or not.
