Alex,
Our team had the same thing happen. It turned out polarity was reversed, and, when the compressor was running on a low main battery, it liked to blow. Check poles - not with the spike light, mind you, but a multimeter. If your voltage is negative, then you have a problem.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
