Won't it do that by itself? Also, I'd recommend not burning the whole
BA23 enclosure, but rather only the power harness. And assuming one
couldn't find a replacement power harness for the bad one, what would it
take to modify/repair the bad one to make it safe to use? Is it just
the matter of replacing some of the existing wire with something of a
heavier gauge?
