Spotted your post on fb earlier, sorry to hear the news, at least you got out ok.
It’s not a wire issue that causes the lsm to ignite, if you open one up you will usually find dust covering everything and sometimes corrosion on the board.
I would advise everyone to strip them down and give a good clean, at least then you will have done all you can to prevent this.
You can also remove the self tappers that hold the lsm in place and the ones holding the lower panel, fit plastic scrivets instead... should the worst happen you have a chance of pulling the lsm out and quashing then flames.
