Back in the 1970's I had an AMC Rebel (horrible car, but only cost me $125) with a world of electrical and mechanical gremlins. The heater/defroster stopped working so I just wired in a switch below the dash so that I could turn the fan on. Unfortunately I wired it in BEFORE the fuse.

One day I smelled something and then felt my legs were hot. My legs WERE ON FIRE! The wire got so hot it melted the wire insulation and the burning plastic was dripping onto my pants and had started them on fire! For years I had a burn scar where the plastic had stuck to my leg before I could get the car stopped and myself put out.

That was an interesting car. No gas guage, no speedometer, door locks were broken, overheated regularly, weathervaned in strong winds, horrible in the snow.
