My car caught on fire in my driveway while I was sleeping. Is there a logical explanation?

Answer 1

It was the electrics.

Answer 2

There are two likely scenarios: 1) An electrical short circuit caused the wiring to heat up and catch fire. This is more likely to happen if you had replaced a fuse which kept blowing with a higher rated one (such as the proverbial "nail"). Actual cause for the fuse blowing is either a poor repair job after a crash or a water leak. My guess is you are looking at the horn or the cigarette lighter as the actual source of trouble because they often are "always live", and in the case of the horn, is most likely to have been damaged in a crash or suffer water damage.
There are also some circuits in the car which aren't fused, but I can't think of any at the moment.
2) Arson.

Answer 3

The first answer is correct - in Indiana, Georgia and some other states all he must do to qualify is be visible to the public, even if on private property and fail a sobriety test -either breath or field testing and he is on his way to jail. Now I realize that he could have been asleep in his Rv and out of sight and none of this would have happened, however, the law allows for very vague qualifications of public so in your garage with the door up, on the porch etc. all qualify. They do not need any other cause to enter private property. He has almost no chance of dismissal except through a pretrial intervention program if your area has one. He needs a lawyer and he needs one badly. Law listed below: There is the little issue of his drinking. No too many adults drink to the point where they are locked out of their own house, forgot the keys or whatever and try to sleep it off in the car. Alcohol clearly is having a harmful effect upon his life - the textbook example of a person with a drinking problem. So instead of worrying so much about his arrest you and his family, need to consider addressing the root issue.

Answer 4

electrical, or if you had been driving it before you went to sleep and Debris was under the car then the heat from the car could have set it on fire. my car did the same thing but the heat from the car sparked a fire with some leaves i had parked on top of.
