Re: IML: Smoke on the Dashboard

[James Brown <jimmb1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I have had a similar experience in my '60 Crown S.H.

The smoke seems to come from  the wiring for the courtesy light

and antenna switch. It appeared that the switch/wire connections

were no very good - sometimes the antenna motor would run/hum

on its own. I disconnected and separately taped everything.

But it still bothers me - and I also would like to hear form others.

Best of luck.
