Sorry, but I totally disagree with you. Ten Tec made the power connection
'fool-proof', but didn't make it 'idiot-proof'. Certainly not insinuating
that anyone is an idiot, but gosh, if you don't know how to wire a connector
and/or if you don't know how to read a voltmeter, I fail to see how you can
blame that on Ten Tec.
