Problem: Some operators of the Q400 have reported finding damaged, chaffed or

loose wiring within the left AC Contactor Box P/N 1152130-6 Series 4 or

Enclosed VSB 1152130-24-126 gives the instruction to inspect and rectify

the wiring within the left AC Contactor Box P/N 1152130-6 Series 4 or -6

Series 1 or -6 Series 2 by adjusting wire routing and improving wire

protection using conduit sleeving.

For additional information refer to the “Description” section in enclosed

VSB 1152130-24-126.

C. Description

The procedures in this service bulletin give the instructions to do the tasks that

follow:

- lock pins are installed thru each main gear and main gear door mechanism
