Doing the hotwire mod and have a question
Written by goldwingman40 on 10/18/2010 at 11:38 pm

Mark,
NO!!!!! That is why we need to use the hot wire mod. All the plugs and
connectors have voltage losses. You need a good solder connection to eliminate
the problem of connections oxidizing and increasing resistance which cause a
voltage loss and heating the connection which also increases the resistance and
voltage loss. That is why you find melted connectors.
