car & trucks

My vehicle recently caught fire and the insurance adjuster said that the dealership over filled the break fluid reservoir. The line is pressurized and the fluid dripped out onto the wires every time I applied the breaks. The dealership is contesting the finding! Is brake fluid corrosive to electric wiring wher it can soften the insulation and cause a fire?

Thank You
Greg

Is this an earlier Ford Explorer? They had something to do with fires like you had. One even happened at my work and it was an employee's car.
