Again, pull a new length of string when adding new wires. Always keep a length of string in the conduit.
Exactly. It's not just the concern of frost damage. I would bury it at least 24".
replying to Joseph Donner, HP maint. Tech wrote: yes.. there is a diode that protect the board. Use your DVM on diode mode check it the diode string ( polarity sensitive if you haven't checked Diodes before). These are all surface mount componets so a small soldering iron is all that is needed. Too large of a soldering iron you could lift the trace. I have a Blue Board and did the same thing connecting my gate to the battery in the dark and replaced the one diode that open up. Cheap fix few cents vs $250 for new board.
Oh, thank you so much for your reply. I've been waiting 9 years for an answer.
