The starter seized up and caused a dead short. The +12 to the starter and ground on the tranny burned right up. I had been having trouble with the starter, so I am really not suprised by this.

The good news is that besides two toasty wires, a dead starter and this horrible smell, there wasn't any other damage. I'll have to clean up the soot and all the melted insulation but otherwise she's fine. All the electrics work great, not one bit of damage to them.

Seems like this is the reason I've been looking for to move my battery to the trunk and fuse it.

I'll post some pics in a bit.

Broken into, hit, caught on fire and still it lives!

i agree with carotman, the title for this freaked me out. have fun with the smell, i prefer the smell that squealing rubber gives off. hope the battery relocation goes well.
