[QUOTE="thewhiterhino, post: 2207, member: 158"] This evening I tore into the three yellow wires as part of my initial checkup. It took almost an hour to unwrap and separate the three wires. One of the POs had already replaced the connector with three crimp on spade lug type connectors and taped it up. The heat generated by this type of connector is quite a bit as spade lugs are not really designed for current. There is no connector that doesn't use screws that will handle current with a friction connection. The current lost across these connections coupled with too many lights had also over heated the main fuse. The repair will eliminate all connectors and I am reducing the number of incandescent lights also.
