Something shorted out under the dash, in the turn signal flasher system of all places. Traced the wire that fried back to solid, replaced the fried part, and seems to be fine. Drove it around town last night. Not sure what it was.
Good to hear that nothing was seriously damaged.Guess we should carry fire extinguishers around with us in our old cars with 45 year old wiring,just in case.
Wierdest thing was after I doubled back and drove by the spot where I saw your car,I started hearing this really loud whirring noise coming from my dashboard...I'm pretty sure it was from the speedo head as the speedo started wavering at the same time but strange that it happened at the same spot...maybe we both drove through some sort of Bermuda Triangle for old Mopars...:violent2:
