I also hope it doesn't happen again... maybe better if nobody has a picture.

The short occured at one of our front ultrasonic sensors. The sensor was connected with relatively thin PWM wire, so the thin gauge had a lot of quick smoke/flame but went out just as quickly. The thing that made it look so bad was our electronics/guts cover...

Since most of that pwm wire was bundled under the cover, it made a ton of smoke inside which slowly was blown out a hole in the forward stiffener box by the victor fans and just convection in general... making the smoke seem to continue to pour out while it had already stopped.

So... I guess the ultrasonics ended up being un-safety sensors...
