Today on my way to work while diving, i noticed smoke coming from under the dash on the drivers side. I pulled off the road immediately and shut the car off. I then looked up under the dash and saw two wires a solid purple and a pink with a black strip going to the brake peddle switch that has a large vacumm line to it. The wires were melted down to bare copper. What is this switch for? The fuse box also had a melted fuse that said gauges. It was so melted that it would not come out. This is the first week that this car was on the road, I purchased this car from a old lady and donot know anything about it. It is a 84 v6 cutlass. I also have a 87 v8 parts car, so my question is will the dash harness work from my 87 if installed in the 84. I plan on changing the whole harness and fuse block to be on the safe side instead of tracing back burnt wires.
