Just spent 4 hours chasing a phantom voltage drop on a G1000 AHRS bus that turned out to be a single corroded pin in a cannon plug I'd already checked twice.

Has anyone else found a faster way to spot that kind of intermittent corrosion besides just wiggling every single connector in the chain?

Ugh, the gremlins always hide in the last place you look.

Right? Feels like that's true for everything, not just gremlins lol. @patricia_morgan32 you just nailed a whole vibe.

My own house is the worst for that, I swear I once spent a whole 45 minutes looking for the tv remote and it was somehow behind a plant I dont even own lol. @patricia_morgan32 youve officially described my daily life with keys, wallets, and basically anything I put down for two seconds. I'm pretty sure the gremlins have a secret agreement with my coffee table to mess with me. Do they ever show up in the same place twice for you or is that just a myth?
