He asked it plain as day during a nose gear steering fault on a Challenger 350, and I realized I have been chasing voltage instead of checking continuity first for 12 years. Anybody else flip their sequence after a question from someone greener?
Switched to checking ground and pin tension before I ever grab a meter. Saved me hours on a flap issue once. A new kid asked why I wasn't just swapping the box and man that one stung.
