Lightswitch trouble, burned wire and smoke

Post

Back to the top
So I was about to go for a drive in my cabby '91 and suddenly smoke came from dashboard. Disassembled the dash and found fuse 22 gone and the grey/black wire burnt off from the light switch, terminal 58L.

All lights seems to be working. Is it safe to run without it since I need to find replacement. Also any ideas where to look for faults so it won't burn again?

The weird thing is now looking closer there are another grey/black wire in terminal 58L. Could it be something former owner had done or should it be two grey/black wires?
