bad connector causing alarm not to work

The title says it all.. I spent most of my day listening to someone troubleshooting why a remote start/alarm didnt work..

After multiple hrs of checking every wire/connection, a plastic connector with no visual imperfections/damage was the cause.. very very odd........

Electrical trouble shooting can be a very long and tedious job..........sometimes I look too much into it......and it ends up being something very simple and not logical.

I had a truck that has a bunch of bad grounds in the tail light lines.. That was a fun experience checking every inch of wire for breaks..

Electrical is a beast all itself.. Whoever says passive components will not affect anything electrical has never really done any electrical work...
