What's wrong, in plain English
The engine compartment wiring harness has ground connections that can crack or break over time. If that happens, the vehicle can lose the power that keeps it moving forward. The same wiring problem can also cause other systems to stop working, including the windshield washers, the headlights, the air conditioning, or the engine cooling fan, depending on which connection is affected.
