I experienced the "too much resistance" phenomenon (?) when trying to install switch to shutdown controller.
I used Pheonix Gold speaker wire to the switch and it worked for a time, then turned on and off by itself and did very strange things, sometimes nothing!
I then replaced this with bell wire from an electrical store which cost about £1 for 10m. It works perfectly. I'm sure there's a very scientific explaination but I don't care, it works now.
Merry Christmas by the way...
