[Shop-talk] automotive connector breakout wires

[Steven Trovato]

Right.  But when I'm working, maybe diagnosing or troubleshooting, 
sometimes I think it would be nice to energize a motor or valve or 
something.  Having a collection of wires or pins or whatever makes 
that possible.  I'm really not going to stop, search digikey, pay a 
stupid amount for the item + shipping and then add some more to meet 
the minimum order.  And then I get to stop everything and wait.  I 
would do all of that for a part I need for the repair, but for a 
diagnostic test I'll find another way.  Thanks for your thoughts on 
the matter.
