I hate getting people in my install bay that think they could "do it themselves." I delight in charging them tons extra for all the added aggravation that they cause. Today I had somebody who said he could install a radio cut the wiring harness with scissors and short out his body control module.
Usually when people come in with a cutoff harness...I just get the factory harness. All the colors match so it is easy to put i back to stock and then do a normal installation.
