I fought a bad ground wire connection in the pod connector for 5+ weeks of on and off testing, chasing wires all over the car, reading the so called '84 schematic, and trying to figure out why the instrument panel had so many goofy readings that made absolutely no sense. I must have had the panel in and out 20+ times....got pretty quick about it and finally just left everything hanging until one day I noticed the prongs on a wire in the connector itself were spread apart. Bingo, they were not connecting the ground yet all my testing of the grounds showed good because I was cramming a probe into the already too spread apart wire connector. Made contact with the probe just fine, did not make contact with the mating pin in the other connector.
