Not Ranked
I had an immobiliser 'professionally' fitted to my '70s Alfa, and a week later, driving down my street, smoke started coming out from under the dash.
I stopped and pulled the battery +ve cable off, and the smoke stopped. Luckily.
The dope/idiot/moron/firebug who'd fitted the immobiliser had draped the loom over the top of the clutch pedal, and with just a week of occasional driving, the razor sharp edge of the pedal wore through enough wires to start the smokin'.
I was lucky. If flames had started, they would have kept going.
I did get the battery cable off easily, but I now have an isolation switch.
Pays to check over stuff that's done to your cars. If I had, I would have noticed the loom resting on the top of the clutch pedal.
Cheers,
Glen
