Electric visor

[retiredpop]

I bought a new sled with electric start. I connected the visor across the battery using the HJC cord that was supplied for that application. The HJC website shows that is a valid way to connect the visor. My problem is that the visor quit working and upon checking when I got home I found the wires in the cord close to the battery had actually melted together and shorted out. Fortunately for me the wires burned off quickly enough that the battery did not get ruined. I am thinking I need a dropping resistor for sure and a fuse although HJC does not indicate this. I could also pick up a feed for the visor in the wiring harness so that the power to the helmet is killed when the sled is shut down. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

on a polaris there is a connector near the regulator that we used to use
worked great never an issue
