Some of you may have read my thread about my Engine Start Button that I installed. Well apparently I wasn't thinking clearly when I wired the switch and button from the ignition harness because I only used 18 gauge wire while the 12v constant wire and the ignition wire are 10 gauge. So I'm driving down my street and i noticed a burning smell, then smoke, then LOTS of smoke, then MORE smoke! It was horrible! I ripped off the shift knob/boot/plastic and disconnected the switch, then I ripped all the wires from the wiring harness. Thankfully I disconnected everything before a fire could actually start. I was trying so hard to save my car from burning that I didn't realize one of the wires had burnt my finger pretty badly...
