Fire, smoke or burning smell by model year
What owners say
Had several fuses shot upon cranking vehicle, on 6-22-01 wife cranked truck and heavy smoke poured from under the headliner over drivers side. I pulled the headliner and discovered the problem. The wiring going through the a post to the drivers side sunvisor mirror, rear view mirror, and passenger's side sunvisor is placed against the sheet metal and then a rubber piece is there to prevent the wires from shorting out and it is against the sheetmetal and rubs the headliner against the sheetmetal causing it to short out. This is a very poor design and I feel sure this will be if not already be a real problem and possibly cause a fire. Luckly I wasn't driving down the road and give tit enough time to catch the headliner on fire.
