A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

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 10 ga. Wire "Y's" out to two 14 ga. Wires. It appears as though the ABS pump or the relay sticks on these vans. Then one of the 14 ga. Wires overheats and catches the wiring harness on fire. The 40 amp fuse does not blow. The fire then continues until the van is fully engulfed in flames. This van was bought back from us by Chrysler Corp. In 2002. The official fire investigation reports conducted by Chrysler were never disclosed to us at verizon.
