They Alternate between sides and today both went out at the same time.This morning I popped the hood to check the conection and it burnt my hand and the plastic plug is starting to melt.Has anyone had this problem before and could anyone give me some tips on what I can do to fix it.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Deerings here in WA have them and most parts stores that sell NARVA products have them on the rack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
