Whole wiring harness burnt out, they said they had looked at it and there was nothing wrong.

    Also looks like it’s twisted as hell, is at least one end of the cable connected to a moving part?
    We had a couple of machines that have a turntable, but the “core” or the middle of it should not move. Well, we have one out of eight of those machines that for some reason twists the cables inside and no one can figure out why. Usually we detect it early when the air hose inside stops carrying air to pneumatic actuators, but on at least one occasion we had a profibus cable that was twisted so hard that it ripped, and looked somewhat similar to this.

      These cables are twisted at manufacturing for what ever reason.

      We see it on the harbour cranes too.

      It helps with keeping jt all compact inside the exterior sheeth

      The circuit wasn’t fused, and the condenser fan failed causing the wiring to melt.

      Luckily this part of the harness was a smaller gauge and burnt out external to the cab rather then inside the cab. She would have been a bonfire then

      Unfortunately no, Chinese machine with condenser fans not fused.

      Fan died shorting internally drawing battery current through the harness.

      This bit of harness had the smallest guage wire for some reason so it just cooked itself

    Thought it was an old school telephone connector, couldn’t figure out how that was relevant to something not starting.
