Is this one of those topics that gets posted over and over?
I went to work on the AC today (flush with Green, Phosphoric Acid solution from Home Depot). When I went to disconnect the shore power, the cord felt very hot at the shore power box. When I disconnected it from the boat, I found one lead burned and loose in the plastic housing.
I took it apart to find that the wire on the burned lead was badly corroded. I stripped it back almost 2" to find fresh wire. I tested all of the wires for shorts with every possible combination of switches on/off, (always with power off). No problems found. All systems were working when I found the hot/burned connector. I bought a replacement locally today and will wire it in tomorrow.
I took photos, but can't get my new phone and computer to communicate yet. They both want me to put the other one into the discover mode, but don't see eachother when I do (Blue Tooth), but that's another story.
