[QUOTE="JustaBowla, post: 8846650, member: 689177"] I upgraded from the factory (crap) cable to the 1/0 OFC cable because I thought it was something to do with the wire. The weird thing is it doesn't happen quickly, it happened today after a 2 hour drive that included a couple stops. Pulled into a Target parking lot and boom it lost connection and died. I knew immediately what happened, so I got out and got it tightened back up. Did the shopping and went to another store where I checked it again and seemed ok. The A/C was running the whole time and I wonder if the fuse isn't creating too much resistance and needs a bigger fuse. The old factory wire that I replaced was really stiff and seemed like it may have gotten hot too... I am going to try bypassing the fuse for a bit as a test, if this produces no heat, I will try uping the fuse to a higher value. [/QUOTE]
