Small Electrical Fire. Now Speedo and lights won't work.
The "fire" was in the driver's fender body loom. I repaired the melted wires. The headlights and speedo doesn't work now. I don't understand why the speedo doesn't work, that runs off the engine harness. There was a bunch of arcing... anyone?

Speedo - ???? That's odd. I thought the RS speedo was mechanical and not electrical like the GS. You didn't mention how or why the fire started. What type/make/brand of headlight bulbs are you using? What's the wattage ratings (high/low) for the bulbs?

I think the 94+ RSs are electrical too. Anyway, I'm sure with all that arking you burned up some of the acutal parts, not just the wiring. You need to trace the circuit with a 12volt tester and find out where the power stops running. That will be the part that needs to be replaced. It will take some time to find, good luck.
