Whoah kidding about the burning I thought!

I've had a burn like this before, almost lost my brother's beautiful blue 1G to it....someone ran an unfused power lead *around* a gromet in the firewall. Grrrrrr! I had holes in my fingers but not quite as bad as yours. Of course my forearm was all red and black from the flames though :(

LOL Ouch!!

I plugged in one end of that lead, saw smoke, and my unconscious reaction was to grab the wire and yank it to disconnect it. It's not too bad but it was one of those "stop and reflect about life" moments. lol.

Wow, that's nuts. I'm surprised the wire didn't just melt. A guy I raced RC with long ago wired his batteries with the male connector on the battery. I warned him a few times about it (I was in high school, what did I know?) but he proclaimed he had always done it that way. Long story short is one day one of the leads touched and welded themselves to his gold wedding ring. His ring finger ended up looking about like yours.

So did you get the pump in though?

Oh...and ouch!

[A//// Guy]

Haha ouch! Ive melted one wire like that while wiring up a switch in my old 1g, I flipped the switch and the wire melted the plastic right off, so I turned it back off. No injuries haha.

I did. I'll find a time/place for a pull in the next day or two to test it. I'll drive it to work for a couple days to make sure nothing leaks, etc. The Bosch made a lot of weird sucking sounds and the Jay Racing 044 sounds nice and steady, like a 255. If nothing else then it's less annoying.

Good deal! So when will we know if the car is healed?
