Thanks for the heads up. About a year go I came
home to my wife who reported that the burglar went off
in the TR6 during the day. Huh?? Yeah, she says -
the horn started blowing around noon, and she went
out and "bumped" (I suspect kick) the car to shut it off.
After some looking around, I decided to take the
steering column apart, and pretty much found what
you described as cancerous tissue. I removed all the
fried, roasted, and bare wires. Geez, these cars make
you wonder sometimes.
Anyhow, the wiring is cleaned up. I'm just not exactly
sure on how to proceed to ground the system
properly, if cleaning out all the roasted wires didn't do
it.
