I believe it was the 130 amp resettable fuse below the solenoid that grounded out against the door frame. then burnt the insulation on the 7 inch length of 0 ag wire attached to the solenoid and that fuse. you can see the wire is clean in the prior posted image. here is an image of where I believe it grounded out. I am not sure if the image will post true-orientation but if you open it with a click
right click on the opened image
then in the drop down chose 'view image' it will rotate true and you can zoom in.
it looks like this fuse was placed on a piece of aluminum stock to allow a user to run a finger under it to reset the breaker/fuse. I wonder if this is BlueBird installed , if so it may be aconcern for the 94pt models out there. The red battery cable in the image is where I wired around the damage to get the bus home and the green gaff tape insulated the burnt solenoid out of the way for that trip.
Damage was minor. I was lucky. thanks for the comment

As you, I've only turned mine 'On' by accident so far, it didn't take the toilet to figure it out butt good to know if'n.

I usually dont like to bypass or change engineered designs But this causes a bunch of issues and I never use it for protection.
