I?m having a problem with wiring my master switch and battery contactor relay, lots of nasty smells and a very hot ground wire!:
The wiring to the relay is conventional;
* Power in from battery to connection 3 (L/H side)
* Power out to main bus from connection 1 (R/H side)
* Master Switch wired to connection 2 (central connection).
When the battery on/off switch is grounded, the ground wire gets incredibly hot, so hot that I daren?t leave it, also no power to the main bus. I've rerun the wires and and re-read my electric books etc but I can?t think of or see anything obviously wrong with this setup so why am I experiencing this problem?.
