this is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me it kinda sucks and is kinda funny at the same time:
my friend gave me a call and said that his battery was dead and needed me to go and jump him. well earlier today i replaced my alternator and i blew the fuse (the non standard screw down "battery" 70amp one) all the places were closed that carry those types of fuses so i put a wire between it and screwed it down
this is was caused it, i figure that because the wire was kinda crappy while i was driving the resistance in the wire caused it to melt and start a small plastic fire that grew.
all my fuses are a little burnt looking but the car still runs fine, i put a HQ piece of metal in there now so it shouldnt happen again till i get the real thing tomrrow :)
well this should be a lesson to you guys always if you are gonna do that use GOOD METAL!!
and does anyone that has a parts car have a fuse box cover and the smaller cover that they would be willing to sell me ?
thanks guys
