CERTAIN POLICE MOTORCYCLES WERE BUILT WITH A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS. THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM "ABS " IS WIRED THROUGH THE SAME FUSE CIRCUIT AS THE ABS MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT.
THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD LOSE POWER TO THE ABS WARNING LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME HE LOSES POWER TO THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IF THIS PARTICULAR FUSE WOULD BLOW. THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE DUE TO THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MOTORCYCLE AND THE OPERATOR MIGHT NOT BE AWARE THAT THE ABS BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL.
