Okay, so i just removed the cd player from the glovebox, my Center console panel display had gone completely blank, so i went to check the wiring, after doing this i turned on my car to see would the display light up and it didnt, but i smelt a burning smell, worried i turned off the car, and took of the Display panel, and while taking out the Tape Player Block, i Burnt the hand of mysef.. Why the f**k was this burning? My Back Speakers Keep Buzzing. and the tape player was making a BIG buzzing sound even though there was no Tape in it.
The Display Is Still Very Much Blank and my Index And Middle Fingers Are F*cked and Pretty Sure Covered In 3rd Degree Burns.
Any Help Appreciated and Needed Asap.
Thanks

i have it booked in on tuesday for a wiring check.
so worried as i just had to go off the road and if it went on fire i was F**ked.
strange you should mention Ignition,
the miles on the clocks dont dissapear when i take the key out. my mate said this could be a sensor in the ignition or something.

not sure if thats connected either.
