If you didn't clean it out enough it may be over heating. Not sure if soot is conductive, but I wouldn't think so. If you got some oil mixed in then ya that might do it.

Soot is an excellent conductor of electricity so an small soot traces on any of the PCB's will cause shorts and/or current leakage.
