I could not recognize any prior symptoms other than possibly relating to an engine knock when the wire gets very hot before ignition switch socket has repeatedly melted since than. I have torn open and inspected each individual wire in the main harness in the engine compartment, the entire dash and even went as far as separating the fuse block for a possible short there. I have put it in shops and no one has found anything wrong to cause it.
The vehicle's driver's side left rear tire blew out and caused the vehicle to hit a guardrail, rollover and came to rest in the right lane (ohio traffic crash report). *mr
The headlight turned on although the switch was turned off and drained the battery. *jb
