>>>THe most important lesson you learned today is, ALWAYS disconnect the 
battery whenever you're working on the electrical system.  PERIOD.  There are 
lots of wires running through the car that are hot ALL the time.  

I learned this lesson early, about three weeks after I bought my car, when I 
managed to BURN a zit into the top of my chrome shift gate while fooling with 
wires from the center instrument panel.  Destroyed the finish on the gate, 
but it could have been much worse....
