Not following this thread REAL close, but maybe the connector pins on
the 14Ga cable have spread some, allowing voltage drop there. A
fellow listed that problem recently, and I can attest it is NOT an
isolated incident!! Everyone will have their opinion here, but I feel
that 4 pin Molex-style plug leaves a lot to be desired.... especially
after 10 years or more. This advice is probably worth just what
you're paying for it.

Let us know what you find in the end!!
