How many of you guys out there have spent a good chunk of time on a wireing project, all goes well, you put it together, and then a fuse blows?
I just had that happen. I added another set of lights both front & back on our 1855 Oliver, with a 3 position push-pull switch so I can either have all 4 on, or just the back 2 on at any given time, and have it separate from the other lights, on their own fused circuit.
It all worked fine, did one last check before I put the dash together again, and now it blows fuses as soon as i pull the switch. I think I may have pinched a wire in there. I have a few suspicions as to where, either the fuse holder or the switch itself, because I didn't plan very well ahead of time on clearance from the throttle and over/under linkages. The more I think about it, the more I think it may be the fuse holder wires are touching, but I still have a gut feeling it's the switch too because that gave me troubles when I did the test fitting. I was able to make it shorter under the dash, but I don't know exactly how close it was to everything else...
Hopefully I don't have to drill more holes in the dash, but if I do I'll just have to get some plugs and move on... such is life... I'll just have to take a few hours tomorrow morning to get it all straightened out.
