I would just rewire it and see if the problem goes away. If it does, it was definitely the wiring. If it doesn't, it wasn't. No guessing. Troubleshooting with binary options can be good that way.

0.9 volts at connector = bad wire harness
are you sure the volt meter is making good contact at the connector?
if so, the problem can either be:
1. bad fuse
2. broken wire
3. bad connection
I wouldn't send the unit back until I was getting the correct voltage at the connector.
