Probable cause
the collapse of the left main landing gear during landing roll as result of a shorted weight-on-wheels relay. Contributing factors were the insufficient information available to the flight crew in the company's quick reference handbook (QRH), and the manufacturer's inadequate protection of the weight-on-wheels relay from moisture.
