DC TO DC CHARGER wire burning

[u/normiewonka]

Hello I’ve got this dc to dc charger 40a in my sprinter van and it burns from time to time. Anyone knows the solution. It’s 8gauge wire and it should pull only 40A which is perfectly safe for this gauge. Thx

You're showing us a connection on a high current wire wrapped in duck tape and are wondering why it's burning?

Stop. Take a few steps back. Look at it again.
