Believe me I've heard all the gripe about these things. But I love the look of them, I don't mind the functionality, but I would like to do everything in my power to prevent the unit from catching fire. And I got this unit used for $50.
I plan on running ground wires to the gauge cluster, body, and negative shunt in the battery compartment. I heard that the most common cause of fires is power surges, what I put circuit breakers on the lines coming in from the lights?
I heard units after 2005 had the issue corrected. I don't know what serial number those were. But for some reason there are two labels with s/n info. one on the inside and one on the outside.
The pic for the inside label isn't readable, but the s/n is 33503 00912 and the model is MKE CDA. I don't know what the other number is though: 9341-15637-008/B its a bit odd for a NSN.

I do not plan on installing the unit until I am pretty sure that it is safe and won't catch fire. Also how vibration resistant are these things? I frequently go on some extremely rough roads.
