The other day on the way back from a show, my speedometer stopped. I stopped and tried to unscrew the speedometer cable. Anyway a wire from the light switch unhooked, shorted on some metal and smoked some wires. (This probably happened when I got my hand up there for the speedometer cable). I lost gauges, signals, wipers, and the fan switch. I still had lights and brake lights. I kept the car running and got home. (The amp light stayed on and the oil light did not come on).
Today, I found that the accessary wire from the light switch to the ignition switch was fried. I ran a wire from the light switch to the acc on the ignition switch. I regained my fan motor, and the signals. I do not have oil and amp lights and no gas and heat gauges. Also there is no power to the engine to start. I can turn the motor but no ignition. Also my wiper switch/motor does not yet work.
Am I right in assuming that I probably fried my ignition switch? This seems logical.
Thanks.
