Description of the problem | The grand cherokee was sitting at a reconditioning stage at my dealership while workers began to smell smoke coming from the front of the vehicle. A small fire had begun at the fuse box. Immediately, the workers extinguished the fire and disconnected the battery terminals. Some fuses were melted and the connections underneath the fuse box were melted. The fuse box is damaged beyond repair and it may need new harnesses. I'm currently working with chrysler to investigate the cause and the next step to repair. |
