That's no worse than my buddy and I troubleshooting fuel to the M715 for an hour until we realized we hadn't reconnected the feed line after changing the sending unit...
Humility is an admirable trait and your story is a reminder to all of us to sit back and think a minute when troubleshooting...
Johnny Cash "One Piece At A Time" is on a loop in my head.....
Pulled the wheels to check the brakes, other than dirt and gunk they were in pretty decent shape, so I cleaned everything up and put them back together
(That is before cleaning them)
In the midst of that job, a package came...

After some phone calls and a post here on the forum, I figured out what's...
All- i have a wiring question about something that doesn't make sense:
