What is wrong

On certain vehicles operated in a hot, humid environment with the window open and air conditioner running, it is possible for condensation to enter the audio unit and cause a short circuit. If the short circuit occurs at a specific set of terminals, the speaker can overheat and possibly catch on fire.
