I installed my coilovers today and set it too low initially. After 1/2 mile down the road I noticed that something smelled like it was burning. I immediately stopped and went to check it out. I took a look and found out that the tire ran through the sheathing on 4 of the wires. I also noticed that my oil light came on. I immediately shut my car off and checking for any leaks. I found nothing. I then checked to see if my oil levels were normal, which they were. I then turned around and drove it back to my garage to raise the coilovers and fix the wires (temporarily wrapped the exposed wires with electrical tape). In any case, I re-wrapped most of the wires for now and tucked the harness further up. It seemed to fix the problem. However, the oil light is still on. Which lead me to think that maybe the oil light for the dash goes through that harness. Is that right? I know for a fact that I do not have any oil leaks AT ALL, and checked the oil 4-5 times throughout the day. All normal. Also, the engine had a rebuild around 10,000 miles ago so I know for a fact that it is not leaking. Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you guys know whether or not that the dash oil light runs through that harness? Sorry for the long winded explanation.
Thanks.
