I learned yesterday that orange wires are bad on Hybrid cars. And that yellow (at least on newer cars) means air bag. Emergency responder's work is much more complicated these days.

you just need to spin it differently. this would be a DIY success if you described it this way: finally got all that dirt cleaned out from inside the under-chassis panels! checked the working of my back-up light switch on the transmission while i was in there, and everything looks fine! this car rocks! it's all just PR
