cindy.
takes howards advice, but add to it..
very well cleaned wires...
use sandpaper, clean them well, get rid of all crusty stuff.
make them shine.

then make really tight connections.

check at the local electrical supply house...if you have one..
try and get really good copper connectors..ask around, and
see what you can find. tell them what is wrong, ask if they
have better connectors.

the crimping that is done at the factory is very good...they use
a big power crimper...sometimes if you are not strong enough
no crimp is made...
