I woke up about 8 and got out of bed about 9. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. After that I took out the garbage and put the ranger in the garage.
I spent a lot of time figuring out the wiring I'd installed. I'd done it over time, one device at a time. Nothing was labelled.
The backup camera was hosed, so I removed it. Just tracing those wires was a chore. Then I started tracing power and ground leads. I labelled every one I found and removed the connections from the terminal block. Eventually I'll install a secondary terminal block under the dash. Unfortunately I will have to go buy one.
I managed to identify all of the wiring except for the wiring of the power delay. I use that to make the radio and interior light turn off after the key is turned off. I spent a lot of time trying to find out why the interior light is half on with the switch off. I didn't come up with anything.
I didn't come up with anything as a cause for the battery dying. The only wire connected to the non-switched terminal is a factory wire. At least I think it is.
I quit at that point since I'd been working more than 5 hours on it. Tomorrow I'll get a terminal block and install it. I'll reconnect everything and see what happens.
I had a phone call from Grant. He's going to get the set up paperwork to me. He says the government is likely to keep the estate from being closed for at least 6 months.
I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening surfing. Ellen fixed me a mojito and ham for dinner.
I'm getting really tired of Christmas chick flicks. Adding Christmas to an already crappy genre should be considered criminal.
