Defect
On police vehicles, the wiring harness supplying the beacon lights and siren has insufficient current capacity. Prolonged use causes age-related deterioration, allowing oxidation to form on the connector terminals and generating heat. Continued use in this condition causes the connector to melt and, in the worst case, may result in the beacon lights failing to illuminate and the siren failing to sound.
Corrective action
On all affected vehicles, replace the wiring harness with the corrected part having greater current capacity.
