hey guys

tonight my siren for my alarm system was playing up.

it was freely going off on armed and disarmed could start car put in gear everything and the siren still went of.

seemed to be a loose conection in the siren as when it was touched it would temorarily turn itself off.

however it did get quiet warm and then i smelt something smoking...

i looked inside my car and smoke was coming out of the dash went inside my car and there was smoke and a small flame behind the ignition barrel.

was put out fairly quikly it is dark so cant have a full investigation in there but i have removed the lower plastic pannels and ignition dash panels.

now ill need an auto electritian to look at it and make sure nothing is effected before i reconect the battery and start the car again. does anyone have any ideas on who could come out to my place and look at this issue for me.

Thanks in advance.

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
