    thats what i was going to mention. remember reading bout similar porblem few years ago which was electrical related and resulted in handbrake cables actually snapping because they were getting red hot.

    i think it was about 4 years ago i read that.

    I was about to suggest earth after reading the op.
    I had a fire from mine. if the main earth is not connected, then the vehicle uses the hand brake cable as earth and it gets pretty hot. Enough to cause a fire as I found out on mine, luckily I was able to put it out.
