[Mgs] Oh No! Harness burnt up!

[Paul Hunt]

The white/green is the accessories wire i.e. for radio etc. (the solenoid 
wire is white/light-green and goes to the coil +ve).  On an American LE 
(i.e. 79-80 model) that is all it is used for (on some 70s models it fed 
washers, wipers and heater fan via an in-line fuse), so either whatever is 
connected to it has shorted out, or the wire itself has become trapped and 
the insulation cut through, or possibly the bullet on the end of the wire 
wasn't insulated (i.e. with a bullet connector) and that touched the body.

It could have damaged the ignition switch as well as the browns feeding it 
coming up from the solenoid.
