I pulled my dash apart to check my speedometer cable. while trying to clean up a bit, I came upon a set of wires that were extremely hot. The key was in the on position, so i turned it off, and it cooled down. I checked for any obvious bare wires or shorts but could not find any.
So I am including a picture of the wire set that is getting hot.
Hoping one of you may know what these wires go to. Would make it a bit easier to trace the short (I am assuming that is what is causing them to get very hot). The wire set in question is the one outlined in the yellow circle. The wire-set is all the way to the right of the dash, near the choke lever
Also the yellow arrow points to a metal cylinder in the dash... what is this?
Thanks for your understanding and knowledge!
