Fire was minor and in left rear corner of engine compartment. The only item that actually burned was the cruise control deactivation switch (ccds). The 15 amp fuse for that circuit was blown. The switch head was photographed initially but was damaged and lost when someone vandalized the truck in storage. However, the connector for the ccds remained and one of the brass contacts was still inserted. It was melted off from electrical arcing activity.
Vehicle was parked outside the home. When owner's spouse came home she noticed smoke and flames coming from underneath the vehicle. The fire department was notified.
Our 2000 Ford F-150 had not had any previous problems. One morning it was driven for about 40 minutes, then parked in a lot. While in the lot, it caught fire (with not even a key in the ignition). We think it had maybe been parked an hour before it caught fire, but nobody knows for sure because someone else spotted it burning. Fire inspectors determined that the fire started in the engine compartment, and that there was no foul play. The fire appeared to start towards the front, and on the battery side. By the time someone noticed it and called the fire department, most of the engine and hood area had pretty much been torched. It was put out by the fire department and we considered it a total loss. We contacted the Ford dealer where the car was purchased, and the Ford motor company. Both replied that they were not responsible and unwilling to help in any way. 8jb.
