While vehicle was parked in driveway vehicle caught on fire. Left front fender was most severely damaged. Fire's origin appeared to be on left rear of engine compartment.
My 1999 ford f150 truck was sitting in my driveway and had not been driven for over two days. The ECU module shorted out and started to burn large amount of smoke billowed out from under the hood of truck. Truck was repaired with a used part since ford no longer manufactures the ECU module.
