Does anyone know why these are prone to catch fire? I came by a deal I could not pass up on one that had a "little" fire. Yes, the plastic air box was toast as well as the plastic cover on the intake (?) with some melted wire, basically something I would have not even tried to go after. But KBB still has these at 3-6 grand and I got a pretty clean one for 700.
Spent the morning at a salvage yard getting the plastic, most of the wiring harness and a PCM just in case. Boy would it have been nice to have a connector before the engine part of the harness went thru the firewall, but all I could see were alot of recalls due to door switches starting on fire.
It seems kind of common since two of the ones in the yard had a melted top end too and wondered if anyone heard of a reason why.
