Two situations where poor or faulty wiring can cause a fire?

Question

And explain in detail how wiring can start to overheat.

Answer 1

I'll give you more than two situations

1. Remove a blown fuse & replace it with a jump wire or cigarette paper foil. The fuse has blown for a reason.

2. Battery positive cable chafes causing arcing. [could cause the battery to explode]

3. Wires not protected when running around sharp edges.

4. Incorrect fuse amperage or no fuse inline.

5. Too much load (amps) on a wire. Wire will turn wire red hot before it melts through.

These are just a few examples.

Answer 2

Ford f-150 brake switch located on the brake master Cly. the switch gets moisture corrodes then because there is power there all the time it melts the switch wire then shorts brake fluid in the master Cly and plastic catches on fire. It takes several hours but the results are very bad especially at night garage catches on fire people cannot escape. Under seat wiring gets pinched and catches the car interior on fire. Added on amplifier wiring big wire running to the trunk gets pinched car catches on fire.

Answer 3

1 the fuse is wrong amperage so the wire starts a fire before the fuse blows

2 a ground wire is touching the hot wire and thus causing no resistance starting a fire

Answer 4

no can do
but i will say
if the faulty wiring is underground there will be no fire
