Aux Power Cable Short

[edasmus]

Removed the battery and battery box this afternoon on my 1973 C337G and got a good look down there. There does not appear to be any issue on my plane as you described on yours. The wire in question on my plane must have been routed differently than yours as it is no closer than 5 inches from the cowl flap actuator rod. It runs from the back of the aux plug into a protective sleeve that runs under the battery box and then up the firewall still encased in the sleeve until the voltage regulator. I feel like (fingers crossed) all ok on my plane. Fire is scary.

Thanks again for your post.
