Firewall Harness Shields

[TomoHawk]

I got back from Mid Ohio vintage racing, and I noticed that one headlamp was out.  I fund the problem:  the one connector on the passenger firewall (it's a green one) was bumped by the storage container that I keep the spare stuff/junk in.  I just moved the connector shells a nit, and the lights worked again. 

I'd say this is a reminder to make sure you have those  wiring shields in place and in good condition, to protect those important connectors that carry the signals from the steering column-mounted controls. like headlamps & turn indicators.

Any loose container in the back will fly around the cabin in an accident.  Hope you're not driving the car with a loose container of stuff back there.

The container is in the footwell in front of the passenger seat, and there was no accident.  I probably just pushed it too far forward and it bumped the connector.
