Tubing to windshield washers broke. This soaked the hood insulation blanket and dripped on to the manifold. The washer fluid burst into flame burning the hood blanket and paint on the hood. Had gardenhose nearby and was able to limit damage. Only indication of problem was lack of spray on windshield. Filled bottle with fluid and shut hood to operate system. Smoke from under hood and through ac vents alerted me to fire.
The contact owns a 2004 Ford Taurus. While driving approximately 35 mph in light rainy weather conditions with the front windshield wiper in operation, the windshield wiper control selector mode failed to disengage the windshield wiper system.
