THE BUS QUIT RUNNING, START RUNNING WITHOUT TURNING THE IGNITION, AND THEY HAVE NUMEROUS OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THE BIGGEST CONSEQUENCE IS WHEN THE BUS QUITS RUNNING WHILE THERE IS A BUS LOAD OF STUDENTS ON. THIS LEADS TO STUDENTS BEING LATE TO SCHOOL OR HOME. FURTHERMORE, THEY LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN THE ENGINE DIES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN THE BUSES ARE AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND INTERSECTIONS. THE PARTS WE HAVE TO REPLACE TO FIX IT ARE (THOMAS PART NUMBERS) 6120-2164: MAIN POWER SWITCH, AND 6120-2076, VEHICLE INTERFACE MODULE. SOME OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. *TR
