Well ive posted a thread before on how dangerous a day off can be for me and this one is no exception!
I started the day by meeting up with a friend/ co worker and we went to the shop to do some work on our cars,
She owns a yellow Pontiac sunfire (painting it black/ purple this summer)
We did front brakes on her car and 2 axles on mine.
I did the axles because i have a vibration at 110+km/h and we diagnosed that the axle(s) or CV's were bad / bent.
After removing the axles i found that 3 of the 4 CV's had play so i was like "PERFECT!!" so new axles installed and the vibration has moved to now being at 130km/h+ so motor mounts next and if that fails then new transmission next clutch job lol.
anyways now down to the good stuff. after managing to get the jaguar started and moved out of my garage i removed my drivers door again because i have been having a "wiring issue"
-drivers door speaker and tweeter shorting to power and fried my deck
-drivers door window switch for passenger window shorting to power and attempting to burn out passenger window.
-trunk release button stopped working
-smoke coming from door harness lol
so i investigated and this is what i found.

The harness has melted and fused together, i managed to get it free but now my problem is i dont have the male connector off of the main body harness. so tomorrow im going to the wreckers to get a new harness and install it.
its a good thing i really enjoy this kind of electrical work, hopefully that is the only place the wires are burnt or i will be completely re wiring the entire door and that half of the main body harness.
So another fun day awaits me :) always a blast working on the tib lol
oh and heres a nice shot of the jag in the snow, after tinkering a little with it ill definitely be having some fun with it this summer
