Well today about 30 seconds after I started my car to move it out of the driveway my car caught fire just outside of the fuse box. Luckily I was able to put out the flames quickly with a hose. It quickly reflashed because it had shorted more wiring in a chain effect and I had to disconnect the battery. Luckily I had the tools readily available and got it under control. The wiring is very heavily damaged and the only other damage went to the foam padding on the kick panel.

I'm not sure yet but the wires that look the most damaged are the ones that go to the steering column and the cruise control. I've had an issue for awhile, when my blinkers blinked the voltage would drop a bit. I"m going to start tearing the thing apart Tuesday and see what I can find.
