THE BATTERY CABLE LEADING TO THE STARTER SOLENOID AND THE LEAD FROM THE SOLENOID TO THE STARTER MOTOR MAY BE IMPROPERLY ROUTED ABOVE THE COIL BRACKET. IN THIS POSITION THE INSULATION OF THE LEADS COULD CUT THROUGH CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING AND THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
