GEN 2 Electrical Fire!

Good thing no one was injured and it didn't spread to something even more valuable. I'm willing to bet it had to do with some of the aftermarket wiring. Fused connections only work if the over-load condition happens after the fuse. If, for example, the hot lead worked it's way out of the fuse box going to your amp and made contact with a ground connection, it would undoubtedly result in a fire.

I'm curious how the insurance handles it. Are they going to investigate if the audio wiring was the culprit and sue the shop?

Scary! Glad no one was hurt. Sad to see a nice truck in that state.

Could it be squirrels nesting chewing through wires? Sucks man hope it all works out for you.

Yeah, if it was sitting for a few days, the local critters likely made a home in the fuse box and ate though the wiring. The little sh*its have bitten a few chunks out of my engine cover and left hickory nut remnants all around...!

Man, so sorry to hear that but glad everyone is ok.

Good reminder to have those fire extinguishers handy and current. I am gonna go home and check mine tonight!

Feel for you. That sucks big time.

wow, following to see how this ends up. Glad you caught it before it cuased additional damage or injury

That is scary, knowing that the truck can go up in flames without any obvious causes. Glad it stopped with the truck, and very curious about what the investigation finds.
