WHAT? Did you have this problem before they did this work?
There are some
CHEAP battery cables on the after-market market.

Rarely have I heard when Pizza pulls out the manual, that a fix was not found. Hell, I actually never have heard a problem that Pizza got involved in was not successfully fixed down the road. This is the guy who makes things happen! You have a meticulous troubleshooter on the case!
I haven't sent you a check for saying this stuff in a long time. How much do I owe you now?
And remember, I won't even change my own brake pads, it's just that troubleshooting electrical and electronic equipment is how I earned a living for 29 years.
