What did I fry in my dashboard?
Over the weekend I fried a red/gray (or black) wire located just to the
right of the steering column leading into the center console in my '92 Miata along the bottom of the dashbord. It paralleled a blue wire. My guess is there was a short involving the Viper security system toggle switch, which I repeatedly have had I to tuck back up under the dashboard. The short happened as I opened the door, turning on the interior lights, even before putting the key in the ignition. After a lot of grayish white smoke from under the dash and through the center console back towards the ashtry, the charred wire fell to the floor. I was able to start the car and all other electric functions appeared to be working -- lights, turning signals, wipers, radio, dashboard gauges and lights -- and drive the 40 miles or so home. I'm about the fourth owner since the Viper system was installed and have never used it or set it and am not familiar with it, so don't know if that's what fried. Appc any thoughts on what I should be looking for and how to repair.
