I had an electrical issue a few months back,a short that caught fire and had no juice to my yellow ignition wire as well as one of the red wires.i tested them at the junction box near the battery and nothing.any suggestions because now i have to use a toggle to start my car.I have a duke.

84 dukes are electrically different than the others....what year do you have?

also: Where was the fire?

There are small fusable links built into the wires that run from the battery to they junction block. These fuses blow and the only way to tell is to check continuity of the wires.

In the pic below the black cylinders in the wire run by the persons thumb, are the fusable links.Your wires may be a differant color, all depending on what year your car is.



Below is a wire diagram for an 86 fiero, showing the fusable links that may be bad.

ARCHIES JUNK IS FASTER THAN SHAUNNA'S JUNK
12.3 is faster than a 13.2

86 duke and the fire was a red wire that comes off of the black connection below the junction box

That sounds like fusable link A.....it's not supposed to cause a fire when it fails......There may be a big short in that circuit.
