2 reasons to not delete the thread.
1. Confession is good for the soul.
2. We need the comic relief.

We've all been there. What's really frustrating is when you fuddle something up by hanging a switch, then spend much bucks and time trying to fix it.

I lost my signal and brake lights once. Blew the fuse, had noticed they started flashing funny just before that. Turned out to be a bad flasher unit.
