Vern,
I was able to run a resistance measurement on your newly
installed terminals and got readings on the order of 200
micro-ohms . . . right in step with the values I get from
a PIDG terminal installed with an AMP T-head tool.
I was unable to measure the crimps on the terminals off the
failed switch . . . not enough lead-length to get a grip
on. But I did cross section the crimp and got the following
photomicrograph . . .

The terminal from the failed switch exhibits no voids in
the wire grip. Of course, you used this tool on other terminals
NOT attached to switches and you've not seen a failure there
so the results of my little look-see were predictable.

Thanks, Bob. I think you've safely eliminated bad crimps as a contributing
factor. Much apprectiated.
