Ok I pulled the cover and the black wire coming from the cord was melted off and the metal receiver it screws to is completely melted of the box and the other side is melted rubber off about 2 inches up the wire I can't figure out how to post a pic on here but should I just replace the box or do I have bigger problems, everything else looks good and it works on generator side,
According to posts here and an electrician friend,the cause is loose connections. Makes sense it would be in the power cord, since it is the one that is getting pulled on every time you pull your power cord all the way out.
I replaced the box
HEREI was able to connect all the wires into the box before I mounted it. Be sure to mount the clamps on the box sideways (90 degrees) to the face of the box. That will make it make easier to mount the box to the back wall of the compartment.
Good luck.
