Damn that's a good catch. Makes me wonder if there's a standard checklist you guys actually follow, or if everyone just kinda wings it with the soapy water until something goes wrong. Like, do you have a set order you hit every single joint on an appliance, or is it more about just covering the whole fitting like that guy said?

It's funny how the worst weather can force us into a better routine. My neighbor switched to the bus after a flat tire in a downpour and now she takes it every Friday, says it's her built-in planning time. We get stuck in our ways until something breaks the pattern.

Hey, don't feel too bad. I once spent six months thinking my car had a major engine problem. Turns out I was just driving with the parking brake on. We all have those moments.

Lamination is the only way my checklists survive a real shop floor. I go through about three a year from grease and solvent spills. The tape just gives the grime a place to build up around the edges. A clear sheet protector works better, you can pull the paper out and wipe the plastic clean.

Yeah totally, the_emery is right about that risk. I've seen sensors get fried when people get too rough with the wiring. Honestly just using the right socket is way safer and faster.
