President, Lead Engineer at VForensics | Pursues the truth through scientific investigations that help insurers and manufacturers decide how to process claims
Evidence of the fire cause is always found in the area of origin, right? Wrong! This engine compartment fire was caused by improper installation of an aftermarket inverter supply cable. The cable shorted to the seatbelt anchor BELOW THE REAR SEATS which caused the cable insulation to melt along its length toward the battery. The fire was ignited by a subsequent short circuit along the same cable in the engine compartment due to the loss of insulation. Hiring a vehicle expert that is thorough and knows how to identify original vehicle wiring vs. aftermarket wiring may be the difference between successful subrogation and another "undetermined."
