The one thing I hate working on is...

..electrical.

I was working on rewiring a utility trailer. In the process of replacing the broken lights, I found out my 4 pin wire connector on my truck is broken.

Now to fix the tow vehicle.....

Still need to fix the wiring on my old camper in the bush......


Did I mention I hate working on electrical?

    Unless I need to run new wires, my chair is comfortable at the height off the lights.

    I’d rather wear my electrician hat than my plumber hat any day.

    Don’t have to be as concerned with nasty infections when I’m pretending to be an electrician.

    I prefer making sawdust to either one, though.

    Especially in RV's because they use a common ground. If you can't find the ground wire in that spaghetti mess of wires, the only option you have is to run a new line with a new ground. Of course if this is the scenario, you likely have a bunch of other things that aren't working right too.

    I muddle my way thorough electrical and for a non electrician have done some pretty impressive things. Years ago built my own transfer switch, am able to trouble shoot some difficult problems.

    Hate, intermittent electrical, can not think of anything worse.
