With no one in the car, leftside door, the switch that controls the outside mirrors started on fire. Luckly I was near the car with a friend and saw the running lights on the car flashing and the door switch on fire. By pulling the battery cable off we stopped the fire. The drivers door and switch where burned. The car drove home. On the way to work the next day the car headlights came on and wouldn't go off, then the heat motor started going on and off.
