62 Dart, American Auto Wire harness, fusebox, etc.
Comes with a horn relay, power, green horn wire, ground to column harness.
Testing everything, going well, almost forgot to check horn before calling it a night.
It was supposed to go beep, or some form of weak old horn struggling to come alive sound.
I got flames and smoke from under horn button, fun, disconnected battery.
Wire from mount only wire damaged.
Pulled column harness, checked from column to relay to horns.
Ground wire at relay, possible it was not fully seated, so I pulled it out and made sure. Also made connections at horns more better by not much at all.
Other than that I'm at a loss.
Why would the ground wire in the steering wheel mount burn up?
Also, stop lamp switch was bad, so I pulled the wires, plugged into a new one, not mounted, just in my hand, worked fine, but wires seemed to get a little warm.
Is this normal, or am I paranoid due to aforementioned burning wires?
