Minor engine fire this a.m. - wiring harness
Pulling into work this morning, my truck abruptly shut off. As I coasted into the driveway, smoke started coming out of the engine compartment. Opened hood and saw flames on passenger side near manifold. Grabbed a fire extinguisher from the building and put it out. Looks like wiring harness made contact with exhaust manifold and burned partially through. Car will still start - may just require some minor splicing, but figure I might replace the entire harness.
Any idea how many shop hours to remove/replace?
i can’t recall how the old harness was secured - no idea what caused it to come loose or otherwise contact the manifold. Maybe check your own truck to be on the safe side.
