Journey Rats

Journey Rats

We will be filming our motorhome adventures. We are a little bit different to most KZreadrs, we go to campsites, a bit of wild camping, but we also go drag racing, we do quite a lot of American hotrod shows, a few steam rallies and a bit of Carp Fishing.

    When there is a burnt wire like that, it is usually the live (brown). Also the live is shorter (by design - so if the cable is yanked out, the live is the first to get disconnected). Given it is the BLUE wire looking all horrible on that cable and looks shorter, I think it must have been wired up wrong when made? Sorted now :)

  • @journeyrats

    Hi David. All three wires were the same length and it was wired up correctly. The blue wire was so much shorter because it had literally burnt out. It looked like someone had been welding inside!! Yes, all sorted now, but still very confused why it actually happened.
