That seems like the logical answer road-runner. The "Field Plug Assembly" is another molex connector of course, but hopefully it'll do ok. Maybe I should apply some dielectric grease? I'll also make sure that the clamp isn't holding the wires too tightly. Instead of the molex connector, I was considering just joining the wires using butt connectors. But, the entry into the furnace where the molex was and is supposed to be has sharp edges, and that would eventually wear through the wire insulation. Good luck with your water pump problem. Sometimes I think they put too small of wire gauge in these things. I'm considering using a thicker gauge from the inverter to the furnace actually.
