When Shock Sensor Install Go Wrong
I snipped straight through the yellow wire that you splice in to. Took forever to get that PoS back together. Took me 2 total fuckin' hours to install that thing. But it works like a charm.

Thanks mcdanjw!

I did, but the instructions I had said the wiretap wouldn't make a connection. It suggested using a knife. Being the smert person I am, I decided to use wire cutters, and they did just that.

Yeah, the problem is that the yellow wire cover is too thick to just use wire taps.
