after installing my new suburban 520789 elec element, the connecting wires get very hot. (SW10DE)

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

Have not had that problem. Suggest a return of faulty unit for replacement.

It's too hot? Then I would have it checked out by a mechanic or GET because it's use is to turn on lights or control interior dome and to dimmer your panel. Unless you have a short or defective switch.

I had the same problem too but it turn out that one of the wire crimp was not connecting correctly. I would check all the 12v wire make sure it have a good connection. If you still have problem, give flex a lite a call and they will take care of you. thanks

My amp gets warm to the touch after on for a while, but I would not call it hot. Sorry I can't help further. I can't see what the gain is set at, as the installer set and balanced everything, and its way under my driver seat.

The strange connectors are for connecting the hot and neutral wires. Make sure the wires fit tight and will not pull out; otherwise use regular wire nuts. Install only if you know what you are working with, electricity!

You had best be sure the welder is turned OFF. If its power switch is ON, then after inserting the first plug, the second plug is going to be HOT and would pose a shock hazard until such time as it also was plugged in.

Not sure ours bit the dust a month after installing it. Might try disconnecting power for ten seconds or so! If you don't have the manual hear is a link to it. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/DEH-1200MP_OwnersManual1015.pdfAs I recall the manual was not much help.

Well.....if you read my review you might want to take extra care when wiring it and make sure you have the the proper inline fuse......Also make sure that you use a real weather sealant on any connection that is exposed ( which are a few ). I also coated my wires with the same sealant. Just to top it off I also put the wires in a flexible split tubing to keep heat, moisture etc....out. I have a Harley that vibrates like a Chinese massage table. So far no problems, but you never know. As far as it coming loose I used loctite.

Justb wire hot to hot and ground to ground and it'll work fine. That's how I set mine up. I did not wire the charge lines together, afraid of poor connections and possible chargedr damage. Have to charge them independently.

My guess is that the red and black wires are your "hot" wires and those are the ones the clamps go on. The white is neutral and the green is ground.

Mine only had 2 wires sticking out of the junction box which is fine with me. - PE

Wgen we bought this element for the aame rwason u mention, we went to install the new element & found that the wiring to the connectors were broken and not making clean contact & were lucky we never had a fire. Replaced wires & old element works like new so we keep this one as a spare.

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

No.......I used my old ones. Check wires where they go into the breakers. Its easy to put them behind the insert and you'll get a bad connection. This was part of my problem. GL
