# 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

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:
