rocco almost caught on fire

[roccoforsale@hotmail.com (M.J.B. Fransen)]

I found out that what happened was there was a wire that was not crimped all 
that well that fell out. It must have shorted out something or other. I put 
it back into place, replaced a fuse and now my dash lights are real dim, 
headlights don't come on, and parking lights work fine.

>>Tonight as I was driving home from a friend's house my dash lights went 
>>out
>>and I was like "what the hell?" Then like two seconds later my dash starts
>>smoking. I don't what I did to my poor car, but it is really pissing me
>>off.
>>I don't need to start have electrical fires driving at night with my 
>>lights
>>on. Anyway, I'm sure it can be like five hundred different things, but if
>>anyone has any idea what that could be or any advice it would be greatly
>>appreciated. By the way, I just put in an amp and speakers hooking them up
>>to wire that they were previously hooked up to. There are no differences
>>this time as there was before so I don't see why that could be the 
>>problem.
