| Description of the problem | Battery in 2004 toyota sequoia went dead. Put the battery on charge. After charging was complete i put the key in the ignition to start the car. I started the car and smoke poured out from under the hood. I immediately turned the ignition off and opened the hood to find the abs computer smoking with flames. I quickly put out the flame with a thick blanket and noticed smoke shooting through a hole burned in the computer. I am still researching this issue... Thank god my family was not in this car when this happened. |
