Hello Everyone, I'm working on a Big Joe PDI-24-a15 s/n 329728. The big metal resistor that sits on the cowl right side and goes to contactors is getting super hot with the truck plugged in and just sitting there. i have gone through the wiring and don't find any shorts to ground or insulation rubbed off. every bolt and nut it tight on the copntrol panel. needing help on why this is happening thanks in advance.
