Default Dashboard cought fire today..

Ok well im really really pissed off, i was at the ATM machine earlier getting some money out, as i turn around and go to my car i cant see a thing inside it was covered in smoke! I quick open the door to see little flames coming out my radio/climate control. Good thing i was at a little convienece store. I had just bought a bottle of water and quick splashed my radio. I finally got the flames down and cleared the smoke. Took it to the dealer. I have no modifications to any of my electrical system so it was nothing that i have done. The dealer looks at it and turns out, there was a short in one of the ac/heat controls, and a short in one of the radio wires, they touched and started this little fire! Well good news is they are paying for everything to be installed. New radio climate control, vents and the wood trim.

Beware everyone else that this doesnt happen to you, because i have never tampered with any of the wires, nor did i ever even take anything apart. This was a manufture problem. [:@] [:@] [:@]

Just had to vent!

ya, glad i cought it before it got a chance to burn everything. It really sucks though regardless! I would have never expected something like this. The funny part is that this old lady was like standing next to my car looking at it burn, but didnt say nothing to me the whole time i was like what the f---???

I guess im having a bad day

Sorry to hear that, at least the dealership didn't give you any hassles about paying for it.
