No it was a rig rite plug. Turns out that wasnt the problem, unless the new plug I got was also bad.

I'm thinking my best bet is to just get rid of this stupid 12/24 volt set up and run a straight 24 volt system with the jumper between batteries instead of the jumpered plug. If I do that can I get by just using what was the positive and negative wires from battery #1 and run them to positive on #1 and negative on #2(respectively) or is it not good to run 24 volts through the 10 gauge wire? Would it be safer to pull all the 10 gauge out and run new 6 or 8 gauge?

What is a quality brand plug/receptacle to buy? I just dont want to go through all this headache again.

On the bright side, it appears both my Pinpoint motors still work so I can return the new motor to Cabelas and save that $1000!!! Might get a new mapping unit yet this year (of course that will probably just open a new can of worms for me, lol)
