that funny burning smell...
Thursday, May 04, 2006 6:16 PM
well i made a trip to the wreckers last week to get a new radio dash bezel for my cavalier because mine had a few cracks.

while me and one of the guys are out in the yard, i asked him if he had any z24's on his list because i was trying to find a factory fog light switch.

we ended up finding one, tore everything apart into small pieces and said to stick it in my pocket and keep my mouth shut.

i come home and put the new bezel in and wired up the switch, works great.

anyways, the other night i was driving home from a diner with the girlfriend and her mom and decided to turn the fogs on. about 10 minutes later, all you can smell is this funny burning smell. i go to turn the fogs off and the switch stuck a bit, then finally turned off, but wouldnt turn back on.

anyways, i ripped apart the dash again today and opened up the switch to find the solder had melted from the heat. i thought there was a relay beyween the fogs and the switch, but i guess i was wrong.

anyways, i either need a new switch or to be able to fix the stock one i just got. does anyone have any experience with a problem like this that might have some tips for me?





Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
