I have a perfectly good ATX wiring harness if you end up needing one.

Subject: [Shotimes] Electrical Fire: No Brakes
Hello Shotimers,
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
The SHO was sitting in the drive way just after a drive to town.
I saw smoke coming from the hood.
I notice I had no brakes (pushed all the way down to the floor board).
I checked in my Helm's manual and couldn't find the name of the connection.
The manual didn't even show that something was connected to the master
cylinder underneath.
This is what I have.
Notice the fluid. (files are 40KB modem safe :)

I believe the wire/connector was connected underneath the brake cylinder
(red).
That is brake fluid on the metallic part.
Burned connector

I changed the master brake cylinder (MC) about 6 months ago. I don't
remember connecting something underneath (stupid me). My guess is I didn't
torque that part/sensor??? down enough.
I think I need a new wire harness.
What is that connection called (part on the MC)?
Thanks for your help.
