Defect
The electrical wiring connectors for the aisle lights and step lights, including spare connectors, use non-waterproof connectors with narrow terminal spacing. Continued use in this condition allows snow-melting agents and other contaminants to enter the connectors, causing heat generation and burn damage. In the worst case, a short circuit may occur and the engine may become unable to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected connectors with the corrected parts.
