Starter and dash mini fire

Post by JayJay1896 »

Yo everyone I need help

Got a Mk1 96' Chico

While I was driving last week I just had a rush of thick and heavy smoke coming out the dash.

Stopped the car and had it towed home

Found out the wiring from the starter and ignition was all burnt up and destroyed..

What could be the reason for this..

I'll try to upload pics as soon as I figure out how
