Now I see why wire harnessing is key, all from a nav system headache.
In my experience, I always figured wire harnessing was just about making the bay look clean. On a recent regional jet upgrade, we kept getting random drops on the comms system. I traced it for hours and discovered it was interference from a power bundle routed right next to sensitive avionics lines. An old hand in the hangar walked me through his method for grouping and shielding, something I used to think was overkill. I gave it a shot and redid the runs with his tips, using the right ties and guards. When we powered up for the post-install check, every test passed without a single blip. Your mileage may vary, but taking that extra care with the harness saved a ton of debug time later. It's a small win, but I'm chalking it up as a lesson learned the right way.

Man, my buddy had the same thing happen with his boat's GPS... total nightmare.

Yeah, boat electronics failing out on the water is no joke. You're suddenly back to using paper charts and hoping you remember the landmarks. It really shows how much we rely on that tech now.
