And I know this sounds strange but I have to ask. Have you asked if anyone has made any adjustments to the PD? I have had more than one team stretch open contacts because they thought they were too tight. One was on cable terminals for the Spikes, one was on the old fuse block and one was the main battery connector. The last one produced the most damage.
How I found the loose breakers was in between matches I noticed a light coming form the fuse panel. I chased it down and one fuse was almost completly out and two others were on there way out. The fuses were the 20 amp type. The larger 40 amp fuses were tight and almost impossible to pull out. Maybe it was not pushed in correct but I don't think so.
