FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL RELAY KEEP BURNING MELTING DUE TO OVERHEAT. RELAY BOC IS UNDER THE BACK SEAT I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE SAFE AND HAS TO BE RECALLED ALL DTS I HAVE THIS ONE HAPPENED OVER TWO MONTHS AGO THIS CAR WAS 93325K AT THAT TIME. MY OTHER 09 CADILLAC DTS HAS SAME PROBLEM AND IN DEALER SERVICE RIGHT NOW AND THAT CAR HAS 94200 K ON IT. BOTH 2009 DTS IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE. *TR
