## What is wrong

On certain 1995\-1997 sedans \(except LX and V6 engines\), 1995\-1996 Coupes \(Except LX\) and all 1997 Coupes and 1995 Wagons \(Except LX\).  The air conditioner wire harness may have been improperly routed allowing some wires to rub against each other.  Eventually, the insulation on the improperly routed wires may wear through which could cause a short circuit.  A short circuit could cause under\-hood wiring to overheat and smoke and could result in an engine compartment fire.  Correction: wiring harness will be inspected and rerouted.  Harnesses with damaged wiring will be replaced.
