Hi guys. It's a sad situation. My 99 5.2 Durango caught fire when I was driving. I love this car and have a huge fondness for it, so I decided to rebuild it. Therefore, I need your help. Please tell me where the wiring harness from the pics goes. It's the wiring harness of the air conditioning/vents control panel. I also need photos of the entire EVAP system, all the wires and related components. I also need a wiring diagram for the 46RE transmission, as it also burned a bit. Where can I buy a selector cable for this gearbox? I need to know where everything is in all the things I mentioned so I know how to rebuild it. Im from Poland and in Europe this car is very, very rare so i need your help guys..
Much respect form Poland!

No access to your pics. Need to set them as publicly viewable, or host them elsewhere.

 

Already done, sorry!

 

How bad did it burn?? That's the vacuum harness for the HVAC box. The lines run out to all the actuators for the various doors..... May have to pull the dash to fix that.....

 

I will replace whole dashboard, for sure. Just before the fire, I noticed a very intense smell of gasoline and then so much smoke. So i jump of the car, pop the hood and flash by water. So I'll be replacing and inspecting every single part of the fuel and EVAP systems. The fire occurred exclusively at the rear of the engine and was quickly doused with water. The flames quickly disappeared. Later, only the interior plastic from the air vent tunnel was melting with smoke. Straight behind the radio but fun facts is probably all of the harness are good because there is no harness there I think? I managed to extinguish the EVAP lines by fire extinguisher about half a meter before the fuel tank...

 

You are lucky, Most fires don't get put out in time. I would see if you can find the source of the fire. The harness in the engine compartment may have been hit by it also. A service/parts manual will be a helpful if you are not familiar with the things you mentioned above.

 

Where I can get those? Maybe u know. I will check engine harness at rear engine too for sure and will try buy or repair.. But it's huge problem in Poland, this car is very, very rare here..

 

Chris, I have a 99 Durango and I bought this factory Service Manual. It's the real deal at this link https://ebay.us/m/rEDA8v
