There is a brake pressure switch on the master cylinder that is used by the speed control. Sometimes the switch seeps brake fluid. This shorts the switch, which is always powered, even key off. The combination of brake fluid and heat from the short circuit has caused several fires.
The fix is to install a fuse in the circuit. It took less than 15 minutes to have mine done without making an appointment.
