Re: PWMs

Wow, we've rarely had problems with PWM wires. A lot has to be said about how you store your wires, how much they're bent (as in frequency, not deflection), how well the connector and housing has been treated, etc... When we had a problem with a PWM wire it was because the wire itself had a short in it - we could measure the resistance of the wire and saw it was much higher than the rest. The PWM wires are a much smaller gauge than other wire, you have to be very careful not to damage or overwork the wires.
