Description of the problem | Hello: while "spring cleaning" my 2004 acura tsx, i was cleaning up change etc. Under the seats. I had to move the driver's side seat forward and up to clean/vacuum better.(power seat).*ak i immediately noticed that the wiring harness under the driver's seat was damaged. The electrical tape protecting the harness had been rubbed off,exposing the wire(s). The rubbing is a result of a poorly positioned harness. The seat frame rubs on this harness when the seat is moved back and forth. (i tested this myself,and took digital pictures as well) it is no doubt a matter of time before bare wires are exposed,causing a short circuit or possible worse,fire (?)... The wires would come into contact with the seat frame!!! This is simply a result of poor harness positioning at the factory etc.......... |
