funny smell......

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxx>]

My parents always told me that attempting to my battery-operated toys
run faster by hooking them to 120V would do me no good.

Boy was she wrong! She didn't know that in the future, I would own a
car that would require me to be able to quickly identify that exact
smell.

That being said, I have several electrical issues. The fuse for the
low-beam headlights has started to melt, and the headlight switch is
damaged (i.e., wont stay in). I don't use the headlights much at all,
so is this a coincidence or could these problems be related?

My plan is this:

1. new headlight switch
2. all new fuses
3. clean all fuse connections
4. clean all relays and relay connections

I hope that will do it. I cant find any other damaged components but
the wiring does get quite hot in that relay compartment.

P.S. If someone out there (ahem) made a "kit" to replace most all of
the incandescent bulbs (interior, door, dash, tail, etc.) with the
super/hyper LED's, I'd buy it. Just to take some of the load off.
