I'm going to make a point to check all the connections and brighten them
up. Our M43 ambulance (like an M37, mostly) has a battery box underneath
 the passenger seat. It doesn't look like it is too well vented, either.
I could see gasses building up in there. Anyone ever hear of a passenger
seat going off? Jim
