Cool, thanks!

Here's the pic I snapped of it. You can see where the solder bridged between the two connections with the red-arrows:

similar problem i guess..

but i checked the ignition and it looks fine...
here's what happens. When i bring it down to an idle, like before i turn the car off, after a drive. I can smell something burning, almost like plastic..

yes i did install a '89 Si cluster, and the smell began soon after i did so..
so i'm planning on replacing the standard cluster to see if the smell still happens..

anyways.. is there anything else that could be making a stink like this?

i drive an '89 hatch dx.

That is the same place that mine overheated, only my solder fell into the fuse cover.
The top arrow in your photo is the wire that looked burnt on my wire harness.

Yeah, it's just like a comedy, except it wasn't funny, and nobody was laughin'... hehehe

But my problem isn't fixed. See my thread titled "help again!" for more info.

Talking

i have a friend that had the same prob. when the smoke would come out of her steering wheel and the tac would jump. well what happens is carbonizing of the ignition switch. the car would actualy like turn off for a second but go back on, this would cause your tac to jump. and the smoke comes from the heat and the sparking of the switch. u can either clean it or buy a new one.
