REFLECTOR: LIGHTSPEED IGNITION PROBLEM

My first major squawk came yesterday while coming in for the final landing of the day.  The left Lightspeed ignition module simply popped a breaker.
 
I began troubleshooting today and verified that there are no shorts or problems with the wiring. And before this the engine purred perfectly.
 
Its this simple:  when I plug in the left module -- it pops the breaker.
 
This concerns me a bit, since the modules don't have but a dozen hours on them.  Has anyone ever had such a failure?  For no apparent reason?
 
I looked inside the module and it is as clean as a whistle ... no burnt traces, no foreign objects, no bare wires, etc.
 
I had them mounted on the cabin side of the firewall, just above the main spar.  They were not too cold, nor too hot ... and I don't believe there is enough vibration there to affect the solid state components ..
 
BUT HEY ... SOMETHING WENT WRONG!!??
 
Any ideas.  I will be contacting Klaus.
