Rewiring my 55.2 and today I did a quick test on the heater switch... The 2 ceramic(?) resistors(?) on the top of the switch got pretty darn hot.. the motor is 12 volts.. do these normally get hot? the motor ran fine on all 3 settings. .... see pics here Heater Switch & Motor


Thanks!

normal for those wire wound resistors to get hot enough to glow red and take the skin off your fingers, just make sure any flammables are kept clear
