Please make sure that you have a fuse somewhere in your new live feed. You can buy an inline fuse holder.

You can beef up the power wire all you want, but if the earth is not sufficient, you'll still have the same fault.
Check your earth connection, or better still, run a direct earth straight to chassis.  Obviously the main feed could be the cause, but people often overlook the earth - it's just as important.

indeed heyho, the earth is essentialy a drainhole, if its blocked ( even slightly will matter) or cut off hows the power getting round the rest of the circuit?! very important!
