I have a 1971 plymouth scamp, the wire right behind the glove box is smoking, there are 4 wires connected to this metal plate, the red yellow and black ones go into the same spot on the right of the plate and seem to be fine, the red one next to them on the left smokes when i turn the engine on. All 4 of the wires link up and go off to the left of the car toward the radio but i cant see exactly where. Nothing else appears to be smoking in the car or in the engine compartment. Any idea what the wire is connected to or why its happening? I had an aftermarket stereo put in recently but the kill switch for it was on so im guessing that's not the problem. My profile picture is a picture of the wires, hope it helps. thanks
the wire thats smoking is red the one thats not smoking going to the same spot as the black and yellow ones is green.
Slant 6 or 318? Just curious, used to have a '74. Anyway, if you can trace the smoking wire back to the fuse-box, That's what you want to do. Then remove that fuse and see if it still smokes. If not, replace the fuse with a "lighter" one (one with a lower amp rating. That should be stamped on the end) That way the fuse will blow before the wire gets too hot. If it blows out constantly, something is overloading it. A volt/ohm meter comes in very handy for this kind of thing....Can't make out the pic well enough to say for sure what it is. Also, do the same thing with the radio fuse just in case. And get a chiropractor for the stiff neck/back you'll have trying to trace these wires!... Good luck, wish I could be of more help....
