It sounds scary, especially when we're in unfamiliar parts of the peninsula (away from home).I just dont understand why frequent opening and closing of the boot will short the wiring harness at the boot.The wireman's 2 cents makes sense, except that the voltage regulator would maintain the voltage and it wont cause high voltage on the cable. During a short, the culprit would be the amperes, and amperes can melt cables by H (heat) = I (amps) x I (amps) x R (resistance, in this case, almost 0 ohms) x t (time). Isnt there a fuse in the wiring harness, I dont know? If there was, it should blow. If it didnt, change the fuse now.</blockquote>
