Unloading back of '12 Ody, see and smelled smoke, from hatch hinge ports, and melting holes in right side tailgate trim, and right rear body panel under taillight. Scary but over in about 30 seconds. A mess though. Tried to disconnect battery but buried under air intake parts. Other lights, rear doors appear working ok. Haven't tried to start. Insurance notified and waiting instructions. Any like experiences? Tks
Waiting for adjuster tomorrow. Noticed today the last courtesy light in center just above and inside the hatch looked burned out but no telling if cause or effect. Other interior lights ok. Yes surprised a fuse didn't blow sooner. Will update as I know more.
