WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHILE PARKING ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, SMOKE FILLED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UPON INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRE FROM THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SWITCH SHORTED AND MELTED OFF THE INSULATION, CAUSING ADDITIONAL WIRING PROBLEMS. THE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE HIGH-BEAM SWITCH AND THE ON/OFF SWITCH BOTH CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO GO TO HIGH-BEAMS. SO FAR, I HAVE DISCOVERED THE DAMAGED WIRES, UP TO THE FIREWALL, IN THE PROCESS OF SEPARATING AND REPLACING THE DAMAGED WIRE(S).*AK
