Looks like the new upper fuse left side has been getting hot?

I have powered the board up several times and it works perfectly. THERE ARE NO BARE HOT WIRES OUTSIDE THE BLACK ENCLOSURE BOX. If your looking at the bare heavy guaged wire in the upper left hand corner - that is the ground. I have not hooked up the negative wire from the battery yet. Both the positive and negative wires are fused that are between the battery and the panel just like the original. The positive wire coming from the battery is going to the fuse and is protected inside the box. The wires are the same color as I went through my salvage box in the garage and found a good battery cable that was long enough to use for both the positive and negative.

Also you cannot see the back of the panel where the positive and negative wires are coming from the converter. These wires are connected to lugs on the rear of the panel (the same lug you see in the picture goes all the way through the panel).

Thanks for the pictures here is what mine looks like...

I have two blue wires that are still in need of proper placement.

I am thinking they both are attached to the same post?

Do the two unattached blue wires attach to the bottom post where the connected blue is?

If I am incorrect please let me know.

Thank you!

Christopher

The brand is Parallax. I purchased this from a airforums board member.
