Bad wiring from factory?

[John Suter]

Hi Scott,

Coming up on a twenty year span, three Birds have
been wired different from what their schematic showed;
all in more than one area. Additionally, one had an
isolator diode soldered backwards which contributed to
the house battery bank constantly becoming discharged,
in spite of repeated warranty work-orders and battery
replacements. Therefore, I'm not the person to ask if
what you experienced could be created during
manufacturing.
