There is a persistant problem with this when i try to run the air conditioning system. I would like to get this fixed with a new updated switch before it burns my car and house up.

Wiring held in an unpadded clamp, which rubbed off insulation over time, resulted in a fire while the vehicle was (luckily) in for other repairs.the parts supplier mentioned that the same thing happened to a friend of his, but while driving at speed, and caused even more damage.the fire started right under the carburator - a scource of gasoline - and therefore i consider this very dangerous, especially when the wire insulation wears off and a short causes a fire.
