[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1439840, member: 3372"] Don, How’s the ignition switch holding up? Is it a 5 wire recall switch, or the original 4 wire design? It should still be good because it only has the milliamp load from the relay; though I am surprised about the wire jacketing (12GA GXL wire SAE J1128 cross link 125C) shrinking back from the connector, exposing the wire strands – it’s on the ignition switch side of the device. [ATTACH]263._xfImport[/ATTACH] Apparently the crimp on connectors on the bike side of the device failed causing the overheating. Any chance there was some dielectric grease in them, or were they dry? The reason I like to use dielectric grease is to keep the connector surfaces isolated from the environment, thereby keeping any corrosion from building up and causing resistance. I’m glad it happened close to home. Brodie 🙂 [/QUOTE]
