Oh, and I forgot - you are talking to a former nuke master chief
electrician who was one of 8 people certified by Naval Reactors to
splice and QA up to 4160V power cables for 22 foot tall main cooling
pumps (CVN68 class 500 Megawatt reactors).
Best fix was suggested by Keith - there is a Ford pickup sensor with
long leads that moves the splice up to the other end...
