No clear reason for the heat. (Wiring looks clean & polarity was correct.)
I tried it again (double verifying plug polarity) and it still gets hot (almost too hot to touch)
Doesn't seem right. So I went looking, and found this thread.
Ours wasn't mounted at first, so it's not a chassis short.
Anyone else have ideas?

i would check to see if there are any vents on it that are blocked and if there aren't any vents i would take off the casing(if possible) and cut a couple of slts for vents(if possible if not a cooling fan could do also)
