As the kids say, It is what it is.
One word, Lucas. The prince of darkness. I was chatting with a guy that had some British car and trying to figure out the wiring, He said that were many (multiple) blue wires that in one place would be the ground, and in another the 12 volt power supply. Identical wire, different use.

That, and so many had positive ground and it was hard for a mechanic to think OK, positive is ground and many walked away from the vehicle.
