I was startin my TII when suddenly white smoke starts coming out of the engine.I turn it off and pop the hood only to find out it burnt some wires.The problem is I dont know what it burnt or why it burnt it.It looked to be a red wire running from the battery to somewhere over in the right corner of the engine bay.Went to start the car and it turns over but wont start.It dosent smoke but now refuses to start.I was wondering if this was possibly a wire for the fuel pump?any ideas?

thanks

 

Pics?

 

I will try to get some up tonight or tommorow.

 

hopefully these help

 

any idea of what it is?

 

Its not stock, and your pics are blurry... Will the car even turn over now?

 

Car will turn over.Could it be the fuel cut or the aftermarket radiator fan possibly?

 

I cant tell from the pics.. To much detail.

 

tries to resize the pics hopefully it worked

 

those probaly didnt help much...I will try to get a lot more pictures tommorow,hopefully then someone can tell what it is

 

That wire is from a Micky Mouse car stereo install...

That wire would be for aftermarket amplifiers.

It was not fused properly.

Your battery is probably dead- and luckly not blown up because the wire melted.

It may have also melted through other wires that run with it through the firewall would also prevent the car from starting.

 

it goes through the firewall so ihave no clue what it is

 

 

charged the battery and started the car today.It runs fine but now the radio and radiator fan switches dont work.Dont really care about either that much but now it wont stop making a beeping noise.I have no clue what it is it just keeps beeping and wont shut up.

 

Bingo! Yeah, I actually had that happen to me with my first fc. If your amp or whatever isnt fried (mine wasent), replace the wire with one of a thicker guage and get a fuse from a stereo place.

 

ya,o well the speakers arent that nice and its a crappy faceplate.right now the thing that is bothering me is the beeping.I tried lots of stuff but it just wont turn off.o well off to the electrical shop she goes.

 

beeping is from the power steering computer telling you there is an error.

The FAQ for FC sticky thread at the top of this section lists the beeps and what they mean

 

just got it back from the shop,previous owner decided to hook the cdplayer up using speaker wire.eventually it fried it and lucky for me it didnt hurt snything else.just thought i would let you guys know what it was
