He still got off cheap, what with the price of gas on a 3 hour haul. But we go back so far we could never count up who owes what.

Nice Job!
Nice to see everything worked out, Sometimes I have to take a step back and walk away and start all my checks from the beginning, always checking the basics first.
I had a customer call me last week, I had just done all the brakes and repaired all the lights on their 10ton float. He said when he hooked up the truck, the brakes and brake lights didn't work, so when I arrived I hooked up my battery charger and said ok (Left Turn/Yellow Wire), he said "YES" , ok (Right Turn /Green Wire, he said "Yes", Then for your electric brakes it's either the center or the accs. "he then said "OK", all the brakes locked.
So whenever your stuck, grab that battery charger and hook it up, Black to the tongue and use a cotter pin hooked up the the red.
His truck was a 2004 GMC 2500, I asked him "Who installed the brake controller" he said "I DID!", I then check the plug, GM has a separate box for accessories, to my surprise "NO POWER", he shorted one of the wires when he was connecting the wires!. He blew a 30amp MAXI fuse !
It all ended well, and off to OTTAWA he went!
