#6 A look at all the soldering that has to be done to reconnect the wiring harnesses.- Notice the cut harness in the lower left corner of the picture.

Remember that harness in #6? Check it out now!!

Thank you to the cleaning crew who DID NOT notice the removed harness section lying under the panel when they last swept the floor.
