I still cannot figure out what is causing these damn extension cords to just suddenly stop working! A little background on this, I had a 240V outlet installed on the front of my townhouse, with a weatherproof cover that allows the cord to hang out the bottom while plugged in. My car is about 40ft from the outlet, so I use a 50ft heavy duty 20A extension cord which is then plugged into my TurboCord. This setup worked flawlessly for 8 months before the TurboCord would throw an error code. So I received a replacement extension cord which worked for another 6 months, then another replacement lasted 5 more months. This time I decided to purchase my own terminal ends:

I ordered 2 of each and replaced the ends on both extension cords, they both lasted a whopping 24 days, are you kidding me?!?! I'm seriously beginning to lose my mind over this, I just want an extension cord that works. And I know its the extension cord, the breaker, wall outlet and TurboCord all test out fine.
