Jim,
If you soldered the connections, I would susspect a cold solder joint.
Even though they may not look like a cold joint, it can sure happen, and
they can ge very intermittant. Jut moving them around can make the
connection. If you used quick connect terminals, I would suggest using
contact cleaner on all connections. Also, it's quite possible that one of
the connections were slightly loose, which caused an arc, in which case
there might have been some "soot" acting as an insulator, and just moving
them around would make the connections work. If it were me, I would wiggle
every wire back there while the motor is running, to see if you could
isolate it, but if you can't get it to happen again, go over all the solder
connections again with a soldering iron, spray all the connectors with
contact cleaner, tighten all quick dissconnect terminals so they are very
firm when slipping them on, and call it good. Good luck, I'm in the process
of wiring up my ES flaps at the moment too.
