Oh, I know that Marty. I've seen quite a few with similar setups, many K-Line cars did the same thing with the pickups. I didn't say it was unique, it's just that for a brand new car you'd think they would have finally learned the lesson!
I would think this being a fire hazard, where is the Consumer Protection Agency when we need them?
A simple 10 cent PTC would solve this problem when you design the PCB, no more fire danger!
