Cadillac CTS-V - electric problem

is there electric problems with the cts-v

this was my car

That sucks. What happened?

idk. got a flat tire. i left it there till morning cuase of rain. and got a call AT 150AM FORM COP SAYING IT WAS ON FIRE.

Not sure if electrical problems or fire would do that to your hood.

Sorry for your loss.

no, lol, the hood was pulled back by the fire department. so what the doors opened and stuff. they didn't want the tank to blow(i think)

Holy shit! I doubt that was electrical, not many people have had major electrical problems with Vs. It's more likely that somone threw a molotov cocktail at it while driving by.

Sorry for your loss.

likley story...let me know how many times
you get shaken down by the DT's.

keep your answers simple and to the point.
don't elaborate. it will take some time to collect
payment...be cool, stand strong.

by the DT?

if you mean cops. no shit. 4 calls to day. what dicks..

first question why the hell would i do that to my car.

anyway.
i'll let you all know what happens.

but my loan and insurance is through GMAC. hope that helps out

Did you pull over onto the grass? My uncle did the same thing and the exhaust caught the grass on fire which ended up catching the car on fire.

Good luck with the insurance company.

I think he's insinuating that you're committing insurance fraud.

That's awesome for you. Sucks for the car. I'd be interested to know more about this. I dont see how a car just sitting there can spontaneously combust. Guess i'll start parking mine in the driveway instead of in the garage. :D

Are you talking about the connector for the rear plugin?

Sorry bout your car.

i dont know what it is. but there is a electirc somthing. under the cup holders. like right behind the shifter. guy said that is what started it.

I wonder how they figure all that stuff out. I mean that shits burnt to a crisp. How the hell do they know what started where?! I never understood that.

I had a neighbor with a Ford Tarus that had electrical problems with the dash lighting.

He got it back from the dealer after two tries, parked it in the garage and POOF!

The fire marshall said it was the third Tarus he had seen go up in flames, but they couldn't tell what caused the problem.

Ford wouldn't admit it was even a Tarus!

does anyone know what that little box is that i am talking about.

it is right below the cup holders. right behind the stick.

thanks

guess whos getting a new (1st gen) V for free? ;)

There's a bundle of wires and an accelerometer for the Stability system right in front of the shifter, but I don't recall seeing anything behind it while I was installing my UUC.

Sucks to see the car burned up like that, man. Best of luck finding a replacement.
