yes sir, i did and yes sir nothing happened. my only problem is. i try'd it with both controllers and nothing. that why i'm so lost. unless both controllers are bad. would be my luck. but, like i said one ran last week and the other shows no sign or smell of being burn up. i agree with both of you. if, i was reading this. i'd be saying the same thing. what about the reed switch it been fooled with also. what they have done is removed it and ran a 16ga wire, insteed of splicing the red and white and running it to pos #6 they just ran a wire from pos side philips screw of the charger unit to were the white wire pluged into. i don't know! i guess i'll look for an other controller i can borrow. just thought. i was pass that stage. lol sucks
