RE: [doc] Re: Gaydon open time (MXI 4811......DASH FIRE nearly!!!!!)



Alan

Purple/Blue & Purple/White - in the driver footwell?
They're the wires for the buzzer box door switch. The washwipe
intermittent unit sits very close to it... perhaps a misconnected or
shorted connection...

It shouldn't be necessary to remove the whole dash. Removal of the
instrument binnacle gives good access to that area.

I doubt it's very serious, just a bit scary seeing all that smoke!
