Default Melted/Fried Aeromotive Stealth 340

I noticed my fuel pressure seemed to be lower than usual. I pulled my pump assembly out and saw this.

Im in training right now at work during the day so I havent had a chance to call Aeromotive to see if they will replace it. Just purchased two of these new in March. I run a triple pump setup consisting of one walbro 255 and two aeromotive 340's. The 340's are activated by a toggle switch and they have their own dedicated power feeds, grounds, relays, fuses, etc.

The setup probably has 1000 miles on it tops so Im not sure what caused it. Any input is appreciated. Maybe it is just a faulty pump.

From what I understood you have to run upgraded wiring since these puppies draw some serious current. The ones I have noticed which ran with no issues had the upgraded wiring.

Wiring was upgraded. They each have 10 gauge power and ground wires. They each have their own relay and fuses as well.

Looks like a bad connection internally, since it's just below the plug tower.
