When i was learning how to fit car audio, about 10,12 years ago, i was connecting a Maruti 1000 (japanese)
Now this was one of the first cars to have an illumination wire. When the illumination was off, it would show ground 0V.

So like a fool, i used that for thr earthing wire and fit up the deck. It worked perfectly, all day. In the evening, the client put his lights on and there was smoke in the dashboard. The blooming wire melted, touched the body, fuses blew, the deck blew up, oh it was horrible.

The End.
