Hidden Danger: How a Small Electrical Fault Can Ignite Your Car
Car Fires: The Hidden Danger of Faulty Electrical Relays A recent video by mechanic Juan José Ebenezer from Talleres Ebenezer highlights a critical, often overlooked cause of car fires: faulty electrical relays. Ebenezer demonstrates how a seemingly minor issue, such as a loose connection in a relay, can lead to catastrophic consequences. In the video, Ebenezer displays a melted relay and its housing, explaining the mechanism behind the danger. "That movement creates a spark jump," he states, referring to the slight looseness in the relay's terminals. "That overheats and eventually melts the plastic from those current peaks." This overheating, he warns, can escalate into a full-blown car fire, not only destroying the vehicle but also endangering the lives of its occupants. Ebenezer stresses the importance of regular electrical system inspections by qualified professionals. He also advises all car owners to carry a fire extinguisher, emphasizing that by the time one notices the smell of burning or sees smoke, it might be too late to extinguish the fire without one. He notes that such electrical issues are a common occurrence in his daily work, underscoring the widespread nature of the problem. This expert advice serves as a vital reminder for vehicle safety and proactive maintenance.
