Almost caught my car on fire!

Just a friendly PSA: Clean out around those Aux fan resistors!

Was working on the SDL earlier and kept smelling the faint smell of a grass fire. Looked down and saw smoke rising from under the fusebox! The famous Aux-Fan resistor was doing its best to start a pile of oak leaves on fire! The Shop-vac quickly solved the issue.

It only takes a few seconds to look!
