Up in Smoke!

Post by dark_knight87 »

Riding home from work the other day, just minding my own business at some traffic lights waiting to turn right I notice out of the corner of my eye a puff of smoke coming up from under the petrol tank, then a lot of smoke coming up from the petrol tank! :omg: - As I was only a few minutes from home rushed back (with not lights, indicators etc). What I found was this! -

A melted Reg/Rec! - Luckily the main fuse had done it's job and saved the rest of the loom. I have an old one knocking around but I need a new multiplug that connects into the Reg/Rec - Has anyone got one I could purchase?

Regards,
Russ
It started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better, but apart from that it was excellent.

Make sure you find the cause of the DEAD SHORT in the loom or switches. :fireball:

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

Thanks Jibber - I did see that on Fleabay - sods law that I just need the connector block but I doesn't hurt to have an other spare Reg/Rec!
