I tried to do a fan switch a couple days ago...today, as i was idling in traffic at school, my car died. the battery went dead. i noticed that the wire covering on the switch wire was black and burnt. the day i tried to hook up the fan switch, i disconnected the wire running to the fan wire, but left it on the switch wire. it started smoking when i tried to turn the power on.

now, the voltmeter won't go over 13 when it normaly sits at 15. if i sit and idle with the brake pedal down, the gauge slowly goes down to 8 or so and my speedometer gets all crazy. i had the car jumped and i noticed this. it wouldn't go over 13 volts the whole way home. what happened, and how can i fix it?
