You've gotten some good advice re: the controller
cooking. As for the corroded socket, I used to
have that problem a lot. The solution I found was
a heavy dose of WD-40 into the connector every
week or two for a few months and then every month
or so thereafter. If you are using the 6-pole
connector with the aluminum housing, moisture and
road salt will cause a chemical reaction between
the aluiminum and the brass terminals. WD-40 or a
similar product will coat the metals and prevent
electrical currents that cause the corrosion, but
will allow the circuits to function as they
should.
