It is a pain in the *** to be sure. All wiring issues are by nature.

Just gut it out and be methodical in your procedures and you will be rewarded with years of trouble free service. Don't get pissed and start hacking $hit up. Just play it cool and figure it out. It is really quite logical when it is all boiled down.

Use your factory connectors whenever possible and if you are forced to makea splice, solder it, heat shrink it, and forget it.

Don't half-*** your wiring. Your into it this far, take a little more time and noodle it through correctly.

Simplification is great. Oversimplification is self defeating and will lead to nothing but heartache and pain.

If you insure that your connections are 100% spot on and going to the correct connecting points then there ain't nothing to it but to do it....

Have fun. No kidding.

If you find yourself getting pissed off then step away and drink about it a little while and resume the project when you have a more clear idea of what you are trying to accomplish.
