ABS module shorting out because of brake fluid in the module. I heard a loud popping noise just outside my home where my van is parked, less than 2 ft. From the house, and went out to investigate. Smoke was billowing from the drivers side engine compartment, so I raised the hood and disconnected the battery. The smoke was coming from the area of the ABS module, so I removed it and the cover had blown off, and the circuit board inside was fried. This is a potential fire hazard, and yet I was unable to locate a recall about this issue. My van is a 2001 Ford E-350. The vehicle was idle, and had not been driven for almost 2 days (it was the weekend), the engine was not running, the keys were not in the ignition, and the van was locked at the time of this incident.
