I had been sitting in the car talking to a friend with the AC on (car was idling) for about 30 mins. I dropped friend off and when she opened the door I could smell rubber or plastic burning. I tried to drive it the 3 minutes home to investigate but only made it 30 seconds before smoke was pouring out from under the hood. I jumped out and popped the hood and my passenger side radiator fan motor was on fire. I blew out the fire 3 times but it would relight each time so I called the Fire Dept. which was actually in view from where I stopped. IN the 4 minutes it took them to come I had the fire out. I had it towed home.
WTF? DO I have the worst luck or is this something that has happened to anyone else in a Lincoln or other cars? Been driving 26 years and a dozen or more cars now and have not seen this before.
