On large tourist buses, the air conditioning resistor is improperly positioned, causing it to contact the resistor cover. This contact may cause a short circuit between the resistor and the cover, which may result in ignition.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the clearance between the resistor and the cover. If the clearance is insufficient, notch the cover. If the cover shows heat damage during inspection, replace it with a new part.
