I finally stopped skipping the wiring checks after a hangar neighbor in Wichita set me straight
Last month I was rushing a nav light install and told the older guy next door at the hangar in Wichita I was just going to buzz the wire out later. He said he lost a whole weekend on a Cessna once because he trusted a pinout he never actually checked, and that stuck with me. I went back and did every continuity check twice on that job, and sure enough found a pin pushed back in the connector that would have shown up as a squawk a week later. Curious if you guys check pins before or after you close up a panel, or do you just trust the harness?
