Well, not fires, just a bit of smoke. I'm full of questions lately... 
Here's another one. I have a car in the shop right now with some wiring issues.
The brake switch would blow it's fuse every 20 - 30 minutes. For a matter of a couple weeks, the owner continued to replace the fuse. Well, me thinks that whatever was grounding every 20 -30 minutes actually arced to the frame, as now the fuse blows immediately when installed.
A continuity test shows a short to ground at the fuse output side of the brake switch fuse.
Here is my question: Is there anything else attached to this fuse? I know it runs through the multiswitch and several other devices but is there a common part for failure here? We have spent several hours tracing wires, and before I continue charging, I want to see if I can save myself some time and the customer money by asking you guys for some help.
So, any suggestions?
