Title: This is the time .... to unplug it !!
Post by: Ghazi67 on November 25, 2009, 03:05:51 am

Hello All ..

This incident happened for a fellow in my company.
It was a result of an Iphone charger plugged, after leaving his car.

I thought I share this with you out there ... as a reminder

Wish U all a pleasant, accident free day .

reminds me of my brother's expedition.  When changin oil, it is very wise to not leave a rag on the exhaust manifold then drive for 5 miles

Thats terrible.  I wonder if it was the charging device that shorted or the truck wiring?

They sure don't make them as goog as they used to ( I mean the trucks )
but I guess
its one of these "cheap Chinese" chargers that caused this mess

Or maybe it kept blowing fuses so the guy put in a bigger fuse...

or just put some foil in it

I started working on my 75 Blazer's hacked wiring and rebuilt the steering column this week. There were 3 fuses that were bypassed with the foil from a cigarette pack. Speaker wire going to the brake light switch and the original wires were cut. The ignition switch bypassed with a switch and no circuit protection. I can't believe this thing didn't burn up.
