Has anyone replaced the power cord plug end with a Powerlet plug system on a duel Gerbing controller without any problems? I installed a Powerlet socket and plug system to eliminate hanging wires. I cut off the stock Gerbing power end and replaced it with a Powerlet right angle plug, then it all began. First it blew a fuse,then the indicator lights on the controller went out, then the heated gear would only run wide open with no control, then nothing. I checked polarity on the wires, checked for bare wires, everything was ok. I bought a new controller, hooked it back up with a Gerbing battery harness, now everything's working again. On the controller package it says not to replace the ends. Is there maybe a resistor of some type in there? I know Powerlet makes an adaptor to go from Powerlet to coax but I would like to have a right angle plug and they have a straight on the adaptor. My power plug is on the midframe heat deflector and a straight plug would hit my leg when I put my feet down. I don't want to keep making $100 trial and errors replacing controllers.
