What owners wrote
1998-2001 b-van (dodge full size). The ABS control module is protected with a 40 amp fuse. A 10 ga. Wire comes out of the control module, then this wire "y's" out to two 14 ga. Wires. It appears as though the ABS pump or relay sticks on these vehicles. Then one of the 14 ga. Wires over heats and catches the wiring harness on fire. The 40 amp fuse does not blow. The fire then continues until the entire van is fully engulfed in flames. This van is at burlington dodge. 90 middlesex turnpick burlington, mass 01803.
The brake line on drivers side behind the gas tank burst due to corrosion I lost brakes while driving not able to stop well. Could cause injury.
