I do not wish to be unduly critical, but some detail would assist those who might/could help you. Please read the sticky at the start of the technical section.

P.S. It is noted that your post was edited after the above was recorded.

Re: fire inside car

from the sun visors when there is smoke near the gear shifter???

Pull out the cigarette lighter and ashtray..you may have a hot wire not insulated properly causing a spark. One of my wires sparked the other day when I was testing voltage.
