Spent 4 hours chasing a ghost in a Freightliner engine bay near Amarillo
Found a blown fuse hiding under a corroded wire loom that looked fine from the top. Took three test drives and a call to my dad before I spotted it. Anybody else ever waste a whole day on something stupid like a fuse?

Oh man, I've definitely done that before, spent hours on a stupid little corroded connection that looked brand new.

92 bucks for a replacement part and 4 hours of my Saturday because I refused to believe a wire crimp from 1987 could fail. Turned out the thing was loose all along, not even corroded, just a bad connection from day one. I had it apart on the bench three times checking continuity before I finally wiggled the damn wire and the meter flickered. The fix took me like 30 seconds with a new butt connector. Still salty about it.
