i hate electrical

Had an issue where when i turned my lights on it would pop the tailight/brk light fuse immediatly. i went through and rewired the entire rear end with the exception of one wire which i wasnt concerned about. I got done rewiring, bullet the light knob and boom it popped the fuse. Put the truck back up on the hoist and studied the situation for a moment because i had gone through everything i could think of. And then my eye caught that lone wire. The wire was for the light for my liscense plate, its just a rubber gromet that holes it into the light, the rubber got old and cracked which caused the socket to move inside the light and touch against the inside of light frame. Other than the extreme frustration i went through i did have a chuckle when i found it.

Re: i hate electrical

Don't be afraid of electricity, it's easy. Power in a wire, something that uses the power, then a ground. It can be labor intensive, but it's not hard work. Always study the problem and inspect the parts and wires in question.
Companies like painless are making a killing off of the fear of electrical repair, and it is pretty close to being a sham buisness in my opinion.
