Y’all messing with wiring on your trucks without disconnecting the battery?

 

Ain't a jeep so don't have to worry about it catching fire randomly

 

Disconnecting the battery is for sissy’s
36-48vdc on a regular basis,only when I’m in the power panel does the battery get disconnected.... it gets exciting some times !

 

Right ?!?!
Gotta set the clock and the radio and presets, that stuff is annoying !

I disconnect, cause half the time i'm drunk

 

I disconnect mostly because I suck at electrical stuff and don’t want to fry anything lol. Wiring is my nightmare

 

same here...

 

I get to sort out someone else’s fuckery quite often

At the red wire, yeah thats for the horn. And wirenutz ? Ugh...

 

Usually worst you'll do is pop a fuse and in the case of the Ign 1 no 2 its fun to remember that's what all of the random things have in common.

 

Holy shit that is incredible

 

At what point do you start fresh by ripping it all out?

 

Yay!!

 

Ha, that’s pretty mild really, that’s in house maintenance trying to be helpful/useful.
Depends on the machine and the issues it’s having as when to replace the ears nest or wire harness. The above picture is in a 20yo mechanics floor runner,if it need that much help it would likely be replaced, at least quoted vs repair.
Many newer forklifts you can’t even tap into the harness because there are CAN systems that monitor EVERYTHING. Horn god bad ? Toss a code, shut machine down, tail light, same thing. Even revers lights, it gets stupid.

 

Add fiber optics into the mix like some of the newer cars and it's even more fun!

 

What!! Haven’t herd of that yet. Not surprising but it can’t be saving that many milliseconds.
