1998-2001 B-van (Dodge full size) bs control module is protected with a 40 amp fuse. A 10 ga. Wire comes out of the control module then the 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 starts the wiring harness on fire. The 40 amp fuse does not blow. The fire continues until the entire van is fully enguled in flames.
