    Question: Why are you not blowing a fuse? There should be a fuse between the battery and the R/R. The fuse should be blowing and you should not be burning wires.

    Something is mis-wired even if the R/R is possibly toast.

    If you get the fuse in there and it keeps blowing the fuse then change out the R/R.


    I would disconnect the battery and use an ohm meter to make damn sure that you have red to red and ground to ground.

        I have had bad crimps in an R/R connector that were just loose. Came that way brand new from Electrosport. It causes the R/R to get very hot very fast.
