death or serious injury.
To prevent injury, disable the aft avionics bay door fan before performing
maintenance or troubleshooting in the aft avionics bay.
CAUTION
When making resistance, open, short, or other ohmmeter checks on
circuits, always de–energize the circuit to avoid damage to the meter.
a. Correct faults and repair any equipment where damage is obvious.
