AN UNUSED HARNESS CONNECTOR FOR VEHICLE ACCESSORIES MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER THE FLOOR CARPET IN THE LEFT KICK PANEL. SALT, WATER OR SNOW CARRIED INTO THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVER'S SHOES MAY PENETRATE THE CARPET AND REPEATEDLY DRIP ONTO THE CONNECTOR. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF AN ICE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TERMINALS, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT INSIDE THE CONNECTOR. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE CONNECTOR COULD HEAT UP, CREATING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE.rnCORRECTION: UNUSED CONNECTOR WILL BE RELOCATED.
