Hi,
The wire from the voltage regulator to the ignition switch was fried when I was trouble shooting another issue. I replaced it with a new heavy jacket wire and terminal ends, I think it was rubbing against the body so I slid some rubber hose onto a body seam that’s next to the ignition switch. I also re-taped the wire loom going through the fire wall so it wouldn’t short.
A couple weeks later the wire started smoking again. If it’s not rubbing on the body would the Switch or Voltage Regulator cause it to short?
I’m considering putting a fuse on it after I find the culprit.
Btw, the VR is a new electronic one disguised as original by using the stock metal type housing and the ignition switch is new from a popular vendor.
Thanks
