My boss has an autistic son so he "gets" me.

He services my car, which is a work vehicle. When he heard i wanted to add some spotlights, nothing would do but I had to bring it over then he built a frame for the switch panel. We had an animated discussion about the wiring because I'm into electronics where everything is grounded within an inch of its life and he said chassis ground was acceptable and I went "ewww" but we agreed to disagree and ended up compromising.

I had him pull the instrument panel (I don't have the finger strength to get the wiring harness loose) then I started checking bulbs, then he got interested and we discovered the mechanic had damaged some of the bulbs and others were blown. Turns out my boss had spares, so we replaced all the bulbs, except I pulled the ABS and TCS bulbs and put them away for safekeeping until I can afford to get the ABS fixed. I've run diagnostics on it but can't find the fault.

All in all an excellent day and he didn't interrupt me once.

What The Fuck?
