sprkn_ranger Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I stand corrected, there is no mention of whether it was fused or not, I must have been thinking of a different post. OP, did you use fuses? LOL Ok didnt think I was crazy and missing anything. Fuck Ken!

But since the op has the newer Charger It's safe to say that it is probably less than 6 yrs old. And despite that, the whole point of a proper installation and fusing is to prevent accidents from happening. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_smokey Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 it could still be a water leakage... a water drain that's unplugged behind the side trims can be enough i just find it harsh to just say "yeah it's your own fault you just did a crappy installement" just because he didn't knew jack bout car audio yet... cuz it's not because you know shit of car systems you also know shit how to run wires it could be battery overload bad instalation job water leakage somthing iron or like'ish that hit something powered that's what i wanted to say... cuz it's not because the car is a youngtimer there can't be something wore down (how unlikly it is it can be ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varietyguy Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 it could be battery overload - Could have been prevented if Installer knew the electrical draw of the system installed (installers fault) bad instalation job - nuff said (installers fault) water leakage - If you own a car you should know what's wrong with it, especially if you are the one working on it. (installer's fault) somthing iron or like'ish that hit something powered - Manufacturer's specifically place things in certain places to prevent this mishap . If this is the case then it is.... (installer's fault) I feel very sorry for the op's loss. But spontaneous combustion is a little far fetched. Without knowing too much about the install we can at least assume that the factory had a fuse on the positive wire from the stock trunk battery to the engine bay. Which would contain the incident to the trunk. I can not specifically state this for the Charger, but vehicles I have worked on with a trunked battery do not have carpet or other flamable materials within range of the battery. Either the fire started due to poor installation, or a series of highly coincidental mishaps. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_smokey Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 that's treu normally they cover it with non-conductive material but a small leak can be overseen anyhow i made my point (i hope i didn't offend someone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87chevyboi Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 could be this could be that..... dont make a damn it burnt to the ground and even if there is a 1% possibility that the wiring started the car thats still 1%. It dnt matter if you think you know what you are doing you should always double check your work, if you dont know for sure then google that bitch. it'll tell you what its supposed to look like. So all you guys saying it coulda been the wear and tear or the manufactures fault. I dont think theyd make something that in a couple of years would burn to the ground because something they did, if so bmw wouldnt put their batterys in the back or pontiac wouldnt put them under their backseat.... I swear some people are real ^^#*$&%(^ lol To the op sorry bout your car homie, next time double check your stuff....Hope the next cars just as nice if not nicer My build aka Snow White whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
