Am I The Only One Who Finds Themselves Doing A Bit Of Interior & Electrical Regularly?
If You Modify It / It Is Modified, You Run Into Electrical Problems, Or You Are Changing / Removing Interior Pieces:
- Magnetic Screw Holder Dish (It's Handy For Me, Anyway)
- Panel Poppers
- Wire Crimpers/Strippers
- Oh, And A Magnetic LED Light... I Find Myself Doing Things In The Dark Quite A Bit Too. Not Having To Hold The Light & Perform The Task Is A Relief Sometimes.

Happy Wrenching...

I found a company that rents out their engine bays / garage, including full use of jacks, stands, lifts and tools.

Your Dream Garage -- SoCal LA's No.1 Do-It-Yourself Auto Shop. Baldwin

Only thing is, it is in Southern California . Check you local Craigslist ads, hopefully you will find something similar.

This. Laugh if you know where it is from...


All kidding aside, a multimeter is the tool that you will continually find new uses for when diagnosing and correcting any electrical issue. This is why I have 3 of them.

Pretty sure Glitch could be a multimeter too, along with a flashlight, hammer, screwdriver, jackhammer, wrench, etc...
