A Common Electrical Mistake!

In this video, Bryan covers a common electrical mistake. Loose connections can cause some nasty capacitor failures, so Bryan shows a simple step that can save a lot of hassle.

Poor contact can cause the connections to get hot, which leads to premature failure over time, even causing the wiring or terminals to melt. To tighten the connection, we tighten the spades ever so slightly with a pair of pliers or something similar. The spades should connect to the terminals a bit more snugly and make better contact.
