There are some questionable “new” wiring harnesses being sold. My 1940 1.5 ton came with a new replacement harness in a box and I thought it was an added bonus... but when I started to try and sort it out, it was apparent that it’s not what I consider a good option, it had no fuses at all, and no connections other than the factory type circa 1940 connections... super high potential for electrical shorts and whatnot. I ended up ordering a 12 circuit harness with fuseblock.
The wire I had smoking itself was the coil wire from the ignition switch. I installed a completely new ignition switch and coil wire
