Yes that is also another circuit that could take a fuse. The white wire that feeds the OD relay could take an inline fuse

I agree the pinched wire was most likely a poor routing and clamping of the wire, but it happened. Neither were on my Healey.

>> having seen a couple of wiring harnesses fried from shorts in the rear light circuits, I highly recommend fusing the tail light, license plate light and brake lights.  seems stuff rolling around in the boot/trunk will eventually wear through the  wiring and smoke escapes rapidly.  if you check the trunk faithfully, no problem.  watch for the loss of the little grommet for the license plate light.  very costly if gone.  have I fused my cars?  of course not.  will get to it one day.
