Re: Radio Cable Burning!!!

We had an edu motor with a little spec of metal shorting the two pins on the circuit board and it would not work at all. Then we removed the offending debris, and it now works great. Kind of similar.

Anyway yeah, the cable may be grounded to a common ground somehow, and if you have a power wire touching the ground somewhere, it may cause the problem. Also, shouldn't a breaker be tripping before wires start burning? I mean, that's what breakers are for right?
