Short Curcuited ... Can't Find Problem... Help!

[rance]

hi, Ive got a r34 GTT 4dr.... and i have the accessories(cig lighter) hooked up to some interior neons via a switch i made ..as well as a boost controller which is hooked up to the same source

(they re all spliced in, behind the ashtray)

last night turned on the vehicle, started smelling like burned plastic,... soon the neons died and the boost controller died

pulled over to check the box... it was abit warm... but the wires coming from it, are all burned ...some even showing bare copper

my guess is the switch box i made has shat itself or that the wires have been cut due to it being under the slidinig seats ....but i have yet to open it up....

i thought that the fuse had busted ... but checked the fuse ...seems ok

everything else electronic works fine...

any insights?...

thanks

Probably best if you purchased a fire extiungisher if you don't already have one, removed any wiring mods you have had a hand in to date &, did not do your own wiring jobs on your car from now on.

My 2c, stay safe.

Neons might have drawn too much power and burnt out the wiring (100w+?), should have ran inline fuses to the boost controller and neons
