I recently replaced my AC evaporator box because my friend accidentely drilled through the original one when installing my subs and amp, and then the other day i adjusted my amp so i could use just one sub…later that night my boys tell me that my running lights were working, so i check my fuses and boom i FOUND it! then the next thing you know it blew another fuse…so we started to run out of fuses so the same “brilliant” friend put a 40 instead of a 15 fuse…it was working fine then all of a sudden SMOKE started to come out of my glove box and well what do you know, the wires for that connect to my ac evaporator box burned the plastic surrounding the wires…sooo my question is: do you think those wires are definitely fried? or just need some electrical tape to wrap it?
Um, wow. Tell your friend to stay FAR FAR FAR FAR away from electrical of any sort. He’s an accident waiting to happen.
You will likely have to replace the burnt harness.
Ditto the above^^^
Let me get this straight you have a friend that drilled a hole through the “evaporator box”, [did it damage the evaporator itself?] and you have a friend that installed a 40A fuse to replace a 15A fuse that was blowing.
If so, you need to find friends that are not so expensive.
As mentioned, you will probably have to replace the dash harness, or at the very least the lead(s) that burnt and possible other leads around the burnt one.
For sure you will have to remove dash harness get it onto a bench and “open” it up so you can trace the damage, replace the damaged lead(s) and inspect the rest of the leads and then “close” the harness up again.
IMO your better off replacing the harness then repairing it, a proper repair and inspection of the damaged harness is time consuming and a fair amount of work and either way your looking at a dash pull. 94
