[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 500605, member: 3438"] That looks to be the main power lead. The steering motor draws very little compared to the drive motor. Surprised to see spade connector being used. My guess this is corrosion issue. It will add resistance and cause heat problems like what is shown. I had a MG Wiresless bind the steering and fail to turn. I thought it must have stripped the gears. I found all the gears in good shape and it would steer with light load. One gear was spinning on shaft under load. MG only sells the whole transmission and it was NLA. Only old stock with very high prices. I ended up using a plastic epoxy thinking it would never hold up, but it has been 2-3 years now. The root cause was binding was in the plastic sleeves. It appeared that the plastic had swelled over many years of use. I did allot of fine sanding to get a nice slip fit. Using lubricants can also cause swelling. Anyway, posted just in case you still have binding after fixing the wiring. [/QUOTE]
