## What is wrong

On certain buses equipped with cummins electronic engine, the grid wiring harness may chafe against the engine and wear through causing an electrical short in the grid heater power supply.  The short causes the fusible link to blow.  When the fusible link blows, the insulation on the fusible link may ignite, creating a risk of fire in the engine compartment.  Correction: A grid heater wiring modification kit will be installed.
