I'm pretty sure there was a recall for the ignition catching shiite on fire.... maybe thats a contributing factor to a lot of fires.
Damn, i have a standard parts store adj. controller for my thunderbird fan..and on prom night leaving dinner i smelled then saw smoke, pulled over and my E fan controller was smoldering nd pouring out smoke.. so i cut the wires and drove home, next day i hooked it up to power(moved controller to where i could see it) and not more than 30sec of smoke it caught on fire, i let it burn up the wires an inch or so then blew it out...scary to think i coulda been on the highway when that happened and i never woulda known..i'm switching back to my clutch fan ~Mark~
I left my top down the other night on accidednt and it kinda sprinkled, my interior wasn't soaked but it was damp. I guess some water got into my mirror adjust switch thing and while I was sitting in my school parking lot that morning the thing started billowing out white smoke. I got it unplugged now, but it made me nervous driving it that day.
Headlight switch harness one 87-88 GT's (not sure about LX's) is known to be an issue. Too small a gauge wire was used. I never had an issue but to be on the safe side I bought a mew harness and what do you know when I changed my old one, the plastic was all melted and deformed. So I think I caught that one just in time.
if mine catches on fire, I'll park it between two ricers... might as well make good use of a bad situation Now I will go buy a fire ext...
