Summary of suits and radios: EVA suit #7, the single piece suit, had a ventilation failure near the end of sim yesterday. The fan was found non-functional. Dave opened the back and immediately saw a thick red wire dangling near the battery. This was the + battery connection. There was no reason for this found and remains a mystery. The connection was remade and found to be sound. It appears that any force on the wire due to its position, weight and bending would apply force downward thus reinforcing the connection. Once reattached, there was no fan function so the lower access panel was opened to troubleshoot more and one switch terminal to the fan was loose. Not just the wire held by screw was loose, but also the switch lug was loose in its molded plastic. Wiggling that connection occasionally powered up the fan. A replacement switch was not found with the replacement parts. Please have Scott Davis advise. This suit is not needed now.
