I called FR to complain, and their answer was to ship it back and they will assess it for repair....Huh??? You just had it for repair!

Needless to say I wrote FR off and moved on to one I got off eBay and have been trouble free since.
Ok.. sounds like mine. When it was brand new, I plugged in the wring and subsequently melted the main power feed wire. They had put the turn signal switch screw through the wiring harness. I called to get a new harness. I would put it in. They basically accused me of hooking the pre-wired harness in wrong.

Note the are 5 miles from my house. They are a customer of ours and use the product we sell to manufacture the columns. I bought from them simply because they buy from us. Boy, did I screw up!
