I washed my TR3B engine compartment and under carriage. I was careful to keep the spray off the electrical components. When I tried to start it, nothing, no click, no engine turnover, etc.. I then noticed smoke coming from the ignition switch and immediately turned the switch off. When I looked under the dash, I could see a bit of burning on the brown/blue wire that goes to the headlight switch. It was burnt on the ignition end of the wire.
I don't see how washing could have anything to do with this but I am very weak on electrical problems so I added that since it happened after the washing. I don't want to cause new problems but should I replace this short wire and try again or am I looking at a new headlight or ignition switch? How can I check?
Thanks for the help.
