[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1198813, member: 8054"] Although there's some confusion on whether it was a traditional spider bite, member FJRScrewball reported a problem with S3 on his 2010: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/139216-fjrf0092-intermittent-ground-wire-connection/page-22?do=findComment&comment=905206"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/139216-fjrf0092-intermittent-ground-wire-connection/page-22?do=findComment&comment=905206[/URL] This would be the first S3 failure I've ever heard of on any year FJR. He claims that the connector melted on the engine block and arced to the engine. This makes no sense to me because there's not enough heat there to melt a connector and the only possible way I can see arcing is if the spider had failed (circuits losing their connection to ground) and a circuit was now arcing to the engine block which is at ground potential.
