Re: No Start, No lights ?

Actually, it is not shorting- it is arching due to a poor connection (loose) there is a difference- the connection cannot carry the load needed and it gets hot and melts the plastic connector- the terminals are burnt and need replaced- so good luck- If you look at the wiring diagram, you'd ask- why does it plug in there? why not simply bypass the bad connection- that was there for the assembly plant ease of installation only......anytime you clamp a connection together is better than a slip fit connection-- just my engineering opinion......
