Cracked rear water squirter hose...

Well, today I was waiting to order food on a McDonalds auto service. I noticed my rear glass a little dirty, then I activated the rear squirter. Then, I saw how the water was dropping inside the car and suddenly a little smoke cloud! I parked and see if it begin to burn, but nothing happened. I drove to my house, got the tools, disassembled the rear light, and what I found...



A cracked Hose!!!! f@ck!!!! I saw the connector, and was blown:



The bulb was black and cracked. I removed it before took the pic.

I don´t know if this would lead to have a fire, but It didn´t Happen. I think that I´m going to fix as the "mexican way". I don´t want to bring my car to the dealer and causes more issues than fix the problem...

Glad nothing got torched. So the cracked hoses' water is what fried the light?

Electricity and water, can, and has started a car fire before.

Trust me on this. I've seen it before during my 28 years on the job.
