Edward Scissorhands - HACK JOB!!

Several years ago a buddy of mine was doing some wiring on a truck he'd bought and found the previous owner used some lamp cord to do some wiring under the dash! Talk about a fire just waiting to happen.
He ended up rewiring the entire truck just to make sure everything was right.


I've seen the lampcord trick, too. Also just installed a steering column in a Ford F250 for a guy who thinks he knows what he's doing (he's scary to work around I don't like having him in the shop, but he's a hanger-on for the guy who owns the place) who used speaker wire for something electrical under the dash. I didn't ask much detail.
