No one was in the car, if they were...they wouldve been seriously injured.
It actually happened inside the garage while it was parked.

I thought it was because a thermostat stuck, not because of wiring.
Then again it was before my 'time'.

What ECU code did this problem generate?

(Looks like a meth lab explosion that got the car too).

woah.. talk about gravediggers!!

yup.. as said before, the explosion was caused because the moron didn't have the popoff valve correctly installed and also wired the bottle heater directly to an on-off switch because the thermostat wasn't working right... flipped it on and forgot about it.. parked the car in the garage for the night and KABOOM several hours later. blew the trunk lid all the way up to the third floor or something like that.. pretty much destroyed the entire house.

better know what you're doing if you're going to play with 3000psi.
