UPON REPLACING THE LIGHT SWITCH THE BLOCK WHICH ATTACHES THE WIRES TO THE LIGHT SWITCH HAD MELTED, THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE ODOR. WHAT CAUSED THE OVERHEATING OF THE SWITCH I DO NOT KNOW. DODGE HAS A RECALL ON THE 3500 SERIES LIGHT SWITCH BUT NOT 2500.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
THIS MODEL TRUCK HAD A HISTORY OF UNDER DASH ELECTRICAL FIRES, AND NTSB ORDERED A RECALL NO. 875 TO CORRECT THE DANGEROUS DEFECT. I HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED. THE FIRE IN MY TRUCK WAS CONCENTRATED IN THE SAME CIRCUITS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, AND IN ADDITION SPREAD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE IT IGNITED A POOL OF FUEL WHICH HAD LEAKED FROM A DEFECTIVE FUEL LINE. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, THE ENGINE COULD NOT BE SHUT DOWN BY THE KEY, AND FIREMEN HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES TO STOP IT.*AK
