    That's the whole harness. it's shorted somewhere between the connector by that exhaust stack and the front end.
    Somewhere down there...

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    so, what do you do, replace both wires or do you have to find the place it is shorted?

    I think it's the brown wire shorting to the red wire that's your problem.

    Gotta replace the wire. It's a twisted pair of 20 gage wires inside an aluminum mesh sleeve. So I, or my cronies, get to unclamp the harness, disassemble tthe connectors at each end, remove the bad wire, install the new one, then reverse it all. Can't splice in a new one because we can't splice that close to a terminal end and finding the short is nigh impossible.

    Hope it’s just a little tender.. that’s manageable and will fade. I’m praying for ya not to get those low back muscles going into spasm..
    Been there and wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

    This is the third time for me. I’ve had it spasm on me before. Just some rest, a little rub down, and I’ll be back at the gym hopefully next week. I know how I did it. I was more focused on these two chucklenutz at my gym then my form and bailed on a pull. They were getting a little too close for my comfort and I just bailed..... 😞

    Drying some Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake to smoke in my new mod cob while I try and get through to someone from my health care facility to help me fill out a stupid phone. My call has been dropped twice so far, the first time I used the callback feature which was a handy way to have them call me in 25 minutes then hang up on me.

    Water heater in my father in-laws room burst and flooded it. Now I am on day 2 of trying to get the carpet dry enough so it won't mold. I know I know you're jealous.

    Pushed two wheelbarrow loads of firewood into my studio. I will burn the maple in the AM, the oak midday, and bank the fire at night with the hickory.

    Go to your local rental shop & rent a couple floor dryer air movers. Think squirrel cage fan on steroids. They'll dry it and the underlayment in a few hours. Hit your homeowner's insurance up for the cost.

    Have had 2 of them running since 6pm yesterday and the padding is still sopping wet.
