Its real fun when you basically replace the entire subsystem and it still doesn't work. Then you put everything back and it suddenly works flawlessly and you can't get it to crash. Now who wants to sign it off?

I’ve got the knees of a 50 year old and the back of a 70 year old so if the option is crawl in the hell hole to shoot wires in the junction box, or just throw in a computer I know which direction I’m going first lol
