Sorry Bill, I misunderstood. Of course, the mechanics I spoke of obviously misunderstood how to do it correctly.

A good self made diagram of the wire colors and plug positions makes for easy reassembly and a nice factory look when complete. I've done a few and it's not that hard to do correctly. As one service manager used to say, "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
