Quote:I currently have the C59 positive going to chassis ground but the cap is still exploding. Perhaps my wiring is incorrect.


Was this capacitor ever connected with a reverse polarity? If the cap has been improperly installed it will deform, then if reinstalled correctly, it could still explode.

OT.     I have to ask, did you fly a Chinook?
