Re: Tether heating up!
Check to make sure that the chassis is not at +12volts. Somewhere you are shorting +12volts to ground via the cable shielding on the rs232 tether to ground on the control console. Had the same problem in 2003 and have saved the cable to make sure that this error is not repeated. LRU.
