Cruiser is right, we all sucked at electrical stuff at one point. A lot of issues require the use of a multimeter for diagnostics. That doesn't mean you need a degree in electrical engineering or to even know what you're doing. Most multimeters have a dial and a black and red lead, we'll tell you where to set the dial and where to poke the probes. That's how we learned, someone told us what to do. Be patient and enjoy the process

I will miss car5car - poor thing.

He was like a slinky...really good for nothing. But he still brought a smile to my face when people pushed him down the stairs.

He isn't savvy enough to know he should man up and leave as he promised.
