FYI screaming eagle 10mm are cheaper than stock or some aftermarket. I just got some at the dealer for only $24. They wanted $15 each for stock. First time I went to pick something up that they actually had in stock.

I've been zapped that way a couple of times.

I guess that don't mean that it's normal...

Not the preferred way to test wires, but effective.

I'm not entirely sure that grabbing the wires falls under the category of "if it is stupid and it works it ain't stupid"!!!

It is effective though!!!!
