- Filed Mar 12, 2025Failure Feb 27, 2025Strasburg, ILElectrical system
I was experiencing low voltage inside the School bus , erratic lighting and 2 way radio was cycling on and off due to LOW VOLTAGE. I noticed the smell of smoke inside the school bus, upon further investigation, I opened the hood and noticed smoke rising from the positive electrical "pass Through" 12-volt connector on the driver side. apparently, the connector insulator failed and was shorting to the body and was getting extremely hot and could cause a fire. the connector on the inside of the bus, under the dash, was blackened from the heat. i have a photo of it. I took the bus out of service and notified LION Bus about the problem, they ordered parts and sent a technician out to repair it. I have a video of the smoking connector. This issue could cause a School Bus fire. I will try to send the photos and video. If I cannot send them please reach out with a good e-mail address to send them.
