Blown Fuses
This is what's left of the 20 amp turn-signal fuse that I mentioned in my last post. I'm pretty sure they're supposed to fail long before they reach this level of damage...
Here's a tip, paraphrased from my late grandfather (who used to work on 660 volt train lines): If a circuit has failed, something has stopped conducting. If it's not the fuse/breaker/switch or whatever was supposed to handle this, it was *something else*. Turning it on again before finding the something else is generally a bad idea.
