Fantastic fan running when off

Had a good one today. Dewinterized for a trip next week, and wanted to run the fan. As soon as the vent opened enough, the motor started with the switch in the off position. I pulled of the switch plate and found that 2 strands of copper wire never made it into the solderless terminal and were touching the opposite terminal making a short circuit turning on the motor. There were some small char marks from this happening since it was new in 2007 obviously. Easy fix, but makes you wonder.
