Worst I ever did was a body main harness for an insurance job. Every wire in the car was replaced what a nightmare

Repairing the DSC module. Cutting the lid off and not disturbing and bonding wires. Oh well...It works now and I saved all the hastles of getting a new one re-programmed (and the cash of course)
