I would bet on the CCU now that I have seen that. Oddly enough the Climate control was all functioning normally even during the start of the fire. I had to turn it off. The pump was checked for functionality back in the summer when I was doing the radiator and the new Alternator. But... things change.

And yea... it had to be something that was not fused. Because no fuses blew that I know of. Nothing turned off. I had to turn everything off.

If I had had a Fire extinguisher I could have saved it with minimal damage. I was in there.... It was small at the time. I could have saved it. I will never drive another car without one. I will go out tomorrow and purchase one for each car. I have one in my truck. I should have had one in this car.
