I just got home from work I was home 30 minutes. My son told me my car was cutting off an on. Grabbed my keys went outside an my was turning off an on, started my car with the keys it started up, turned it off it came back on an it was idling hard then smoke started coming from engine popped my hood smoke flooding everything ran for fire extinguisher couldn't find it ran for the hose wet it. It's the wires from the battery down to under the front of the car. Left the hood up. Came out 3 hours later the fan is on in the car! had to disconnect the battery to get the car to turn off completely! !!!
