Up in Smoke 200 1990

My moms old 240 wagon has always had a problem with blowing the power window fuse... finally i just put a screw in there.. lol I also did a total ghetto stereo install too (gotta have toons). I put that crap in yesterday. Using a dual 12" bandpass box with only 1 12" in it and a cheap ass boss amp that started smoking when I gave it power (i tore out the components that were fried and was actually able to use the chanel that isn't busted to drive the sub. Getting signal from my head unit which has a buncha buttons busted off so you have to use a screwdriver to turn it up or down. Well suprisingly none of that stuff caught fire.. however i forgot that I had left the screw in the fuse holder, well today I started her up and rolled down my windows and all this smoke started coming out from the dash.. it was great.. hehehe, found a yellow wire that was connected to the same terminal as the power windows that had completely melted and fused itsself to a couple other wires. I just pulled that wire off and im back in action.. and now it doesn't blow the power window fuse.. maybe at some point when i give a **** I'll go see what exactly i blew up, but my stereo is loud enough to annoy people and the windows go up and down.. i'm happy.. hehe.. I've kinda made my moms old 240 wagon into my ride becuase my bertone is just sitting around running like crap waiting for me to save some money for a fully built 700r4. Engine has been purchased and is ready to be installed.. but funds for the tranny and other crap are not yet availible.
