# What looks like happened...

Posted by NicZ (93SE 89GXE ) on October 08, 2003 at 23:20:55: In Reply to: Ummm, so what happened there? the pics are either too close or too far to see. nm posted by Matt on October 08, 2003 at 22:47:03: The ground terminal and assosiated solder somehow started to melt. In that melting process, the metal ground terminal housed in the plastic came into contact with the remote turn on wire, and in turn shorted it out. aparently quality isnt job #1 at Profile. The wire I had on it was larger than what was called for and was only about 10 inches long. (8 gauge wire connected to a seat belt bolt), so impropper grounding wasn't an issue. Replys: I agree with Matt. Cheap manufacture, but there's more to it than that for sure. n/m The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project nearing completion)) 04:51:30 10/09/2003 (0) weird. it musta got to more than the remote wire though. REM wire doesn't carry enough current to do that. it'd take 10-15 amps to do that. nm Matt (93SE) 23:29:36 10/08/2003 (0)
