Defect

The routing of the engine compartment wiring harness is incorrect, allowing the harness to contact a sharp edge on the side frame and sustain insulation damage. Continued use in this condition can cause the wiring to short-circuit, blowing fuses and resulting in a no-start condition, incorrect speedometer readings, or inoperative reverse lamps. In the worst case, a short circuit in certain wiring may cause a vehicle fire.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, install an edge protector on the side frame and fit a rigid protective tube and heat-resistant sheath over the engine compartment wiring. Inspect the engine compartment wiring; repair any damaged sections where repair is possible, and replace with new wiring where repair is not possible.
