That one week where everything on the 737 went wrong at once
Last Tuesday I showed up to swap out a radar unit on a 737 and the mounting screws were stripped from the factory. Then Wednesday the weather radar display on the test bench threw a fault code I've never seen in 8 years. By Friday I had three different LRUs fail the same self test after install, and the lead kept asking if I was skipping steps. The whole week was a mess of bad batches and weird glitches that made me second guess every reading. Has anyone else had a string of bad luck like that where the parts themselves were the problem?

Slow down and test each part twice before install.

Test each part twice before install? Come on @felix_thomas73, that's a bit much. Most stuff is plug and play these days, you're acting like we're building a space shuttle. I get being careful, but double testing every single thing is overkill when you can see if it works right away. Spend your time on the tricky bits, not checking every screw and wire twice.
