The wiring to and the fuel pump housing melted the wiring that goes from the back side of the plug and down to the pump that is submerged in fuel also melted it was a matter of time before it caught fire.

Smelled burning plastic... faint at first, but kept getting stronger. Pulled over to find the problem and saw flames coming out of the speaker in the left rear door. Half of the speaker cover was totally burned away. Poured water on the fire to put it out. Also poured water through window down behind the door panel to make sure any flames/sparks that weren't visible would be extinguished.

The day after my Jeep was purchased, it would not start. We brought it back to the dealer and were told it was the ignition switch. There were no problems with the Jeep for about 2 years, but then the car started shutting off while we were driving. It would always a cut back on though. Now it will not start at all. The alternator has been changed and so has the battery, but the car still will not even start with a jump.
