Potentiometer wiring

Hey fellow CD'ers.

Today I tried wiring the VEX potentiometer and made the male end of the PWM cable into a female for it to fit on the Digital I/O on the sidecar. We fired the robot up to see if we got any response/signal in the driver station. Suddenly we started smelling burned Pot; I figured we probably connected the potentiometer wrong. We have gotten input from veteran teams that it goes into the sidecar. Any suggestions why this happened and how we are supposed to wire the Pot?
