When the whole side of your buggy's turn signals go out... What do you check?? No not the bulbs ;D You rip the wiring harness down from under the dash and start checking the switch... Then when your wife comes in and asks if you checked the bulbs you say no... that can't be it. So when you put 12v power to the wire to the bulb and it does not light you replace the bulb and check the other 1 to find the wire was bent and not making contact . So you put the harness back together under the dash and the steering column back in... Start the buggy go for a ride and take your wife with you to say sorry for not listening to her . Thanks and check your bulbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody that hasn't done that is either lying, or don't do their own work.. lol.. On a hot rod I built years ago, I was chasing a serious electrical issue, and had the whole dash board laying in my lap with wires and tools laying all over the front seat. My head stuck in behind it all with multimeter in hand by the time the wife comes out and asked "Did ya check the fuse?". I told her "Of course I did, I'm not an idiot!!". She goes back in, and I quietly check the fuse, change it, and put the dash back together.

It sounds like the secret to car repair is: listen to your wife!I always do that.
