Here is a picture of what I have. On the left is the female end of the inverter. As you can see, the white stripe wire (positive wire) is on the top. When it plugs into a male connector, which has the white stripe wire on the bottom, the power and ground are switched. Now on the male connector, the white stripe wire is grounded while the black wire is now getting power. When connecting my EL wire to the other end of the male connector, am I connecting the center wire of the EL to the white stripe (now grounded) or the black (power)? I haven't seen anyone ask about this, but I want to be sure before I get my other inverter in case it was me who shorted the other one out in the first place.
