So, having just gotten out of Boot Camp and down to my school, my father graciously drove my 99 CSVT from NY to Florida for me. I was overjoyed. I went out cruising for a good hour or so.
Then I left it idling in a parking lot with my girl in the passenger seat. I get back to "Something smells like burning" and a cabin full of blue smoke
Fire Party Fire Party we have a class Charlie fire. Damn. The smoke was coming from down near the right fog light, so I killed the headlights and it stopped.
Now the right fog light turns on, but is extremely dim. The right turn signal works fine, but the left turn signal blinks at hyperspeed.
My guess is that the right fog light and blinker are on the same circuit and the short is causing enough resistance that the left blinker thinks the right is out?
Am I close? Anyone know? If I'm correct, does anyone know about where the wires diverge? Easier to get to on a lift or from above?
At least the ozone from the electrical burning seems to have gotten rid of the mildew smell inhabiting my HVAC system.
