While sitting in a drive thru my 2002 lincoln towncar caught a blaze under the hood. *tr
When brake pedal is applied for a long traffic light stop, i could smell burning plastic. after several weeks of this my car would not come out of park. found the harness plug to the brake light switch melted. i am curious as to why the fuse didn't blow ?. i replaced the plug with new connectors and a few weeks later the same thing is happening - wires are melted and the fuse is not tripped.
When attempting to start the vehicle it failed to start. vehicle was towed to dealer. dealer replaced cluster panel computer and crankcase. however, the problem still occurred. *ak
