| Description of the problem | I was driving around for about an hour on a snowy day. I had the transmission in 4x4 for most of the drive. I parked my jeep in a parking lot and returned about an 45 min later and found firefighters putting out a fire in the engine compartment. The fire chief stated that the fire started near the rear of the engine close to the firewall and that it was an electrical fire. I also have pictures available of the vehicle after the fire you may contact me. |
