I took my semi truck to one of the company shops recently. There were some electrical problems that were getting progressively worse.

The technician thought, poked, checked, asked a colleague.

Finally he got out his phone, googled, and disconnected the batteries for about ten minutes. Then reconnected the batteries, and all was well.

I guess something needed to be put to death and reincarnated.

He laughed about it and told me how he fixed it. I laughed too and thanks him, but sometimes that's what you do, and you have to know enough to select the likely or possible out from the unlikely and implausible.
