LadyLumpsClay Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Skutt 1027. Elements are due for a change soon. Just checked connectors and three have changed to a brown color. Does this mean a change is due or is it safe to operate? Edited July 9, 2023 by LadyLumpsClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) They are definitely heating, so some power wasted. If there is enough wire, I would cut them back to clean wire and install a new connector. Even though they are discolored, they very likely only consume (or waste) a small amount of energy. They will continue to heat, which causes a higher resistance which cause more heating, so they won’t improve on their own, they will slowly wear out. Again IMO very proactive - new crimps on new clean wire. Super proactive - buy a new harness. Edited July 10, 2023 by Bill Kielb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
