## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a Zetec engine, the battery cable insulation could be damaged due to loose or broken attachments and/or misrouted battery cables.  This in turn may cause the battery cables to short resulting in heat damage.  The check engine light being illuminated or the engine failing to start are some of the possible symptoms however, smoke, melting or fire may also occur.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect the condition or the battery cable insulation for proper torque at the terminal ends.  Cables will be rerouted, retaining clips installed and damaged battery cables replaced as necessary.
