here is my take on it. i havent messed with cable in about 5yrs so be easy on me. If you fuse up the output legs like you said seperately and the problem exists in each leg that you fused up then i wouldnt think it would be anything to do with the cable on any of your outputs. Is this a new splice job or is it existing?
