Rat's Nest Under the Hood of My Truck

Re: Rat\'s Nest Under the Hood of My Truck

Back when I still busted wrenches for a living I was known for being pretty good at chasing wiring problems. With that said, I seemed to always find the problem after dismantling the whole vehicle. If a circuit stretched from the front of a vehicle to the back, I'd start at the front if the problem was in the back and vice versa. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I worked with a guy that seemed to be able to land right on the short or open, every time. I did catch him a time or two just cutting the wire at both ends and stringing a new one. I never liked doing that but he always had a paycheck while I was still buried in a harness doing it "right". Now I always study the wiring diagram first and then work inward. Saves a lot of dismantling. Tearing it apart never really bothered me, it was looking at all the piles of stuff I had to re- install after I found that little broken wire that was so depressing. You have to look at the good point, though. Now you can clean the dust out of all those dashboard parts that you couldn't get to before. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
