Burn Notice...

yikes! that stinks. we fired my valiant up for the first time this weekend and almost had a similar issue. one of the -6 stainless lines I reused from my other car sprung a leak mid line. was fine a year or so ago on the Dart but it was dripping a drop or 3 every few seconds. right on my alternator ( that I forgot to tighten the battery cable on ). I was lucky the couple sparks it had didn't start the car on fire.

Well, I'm glad your setup didn't suffer the same tragic circumstances mine did.

I ordered the last of the replacement parts for this turkey, today ( a windshield-wiper harness... didn't know there was such a thing!) , and should have it running in a week or two. The burnt-up wiring is the most confusing, time-consuming part. Yes, I have a factory parts manual with a wiring diagram, but I am not an electrical engineer, so it's hard for me to read.


I just fly around like a bat in a room with no windows... LOL!
