Old man came rolling in for a oil change and his caravan died 10 ft from the service drive. Pop the hood and found this. Body work had just been done to that corner and it looks like they forgot the nut on the main power to the fuse box...
It was a handicap van so I think the suspect wiring was from all the addons for the ramp.

That guy who traded in his Tacoma a few months before the recall ran out is a true oppo. As is the person behind this weeks obligatory brake post. Lots of full value entertainment this week.
