[DeTomaso] Turn Signal Enclosure Mounting Screw and Potential For Smoke

The driver's side turn signal trim enclosure mounts to the turn signal  
housing with a machine screw. The length of this screw is critical.
 
The spring in the image is at 12V when the headlamps are ON. If the  
enclosure mounting screw is too long, the screw can pass through the turn  signal 
enclosure mounting tab and contact the spring. If the screw contacts the  
spring, smoke will be generated when the headlamps are turned ON.
 
When installing the mounting screw for the driver side enclosure, be sure  
to use the OEM mounting screw and be sure that the screw does not bottom out 
 against anything.
 
The passenger's side trim enclosure does not have this potential  problem.
 

 
 
The main  thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Do the best you can with what  your have where you are.
Have fun  today!
