Defect
On transit buses, the waterproofing treatment at the wiring connector of the exterior door open/close switch is improperly applied, allowing water to penetrate the wiring. Continued use in this condition causes the wiring to corrode and develop a broken wire. In the worst case, both the exterior door open/close switch and the driver's seat door open/close switch may become unable to operate the door.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the waterproofing condition at the exterior door open/close switch wiring connector. On vehicles with inadequate waterproofing, apply the corrective waterproofing treatment. On vehicles showing wiring corrosion, repair the wiring.
