2002 Ford F-150 Electrical system Problems

“Woke up at 1am one 4-1-2018 to my Ford f 150 on fire drivers side front under the hood. Unknow to us our local sheriff had spotted the fire and already called the fire department. Total loss.

The vehicle was sitting in our drive next to our other cars for 3 hour with keys out of the ignition.”

“I have been experiencing electrical problems periodically over the past two with my vehicle(originally thought to be the battery), ranging from highlight and flashers intermittently coming on when the vehicle is locked and turned off.
