Dash swap goof up

Never said it would.

Strange that you would post that though. As if to suggest that it would.
If you knew it would not, why even post it?

You may want to re-read my post that you seem to have issue with. I'm really not interested in some stupid internet argument.

Too late.

Too late.

OK, I'll bite, because you apparently need me to in order to validate your existence.

My exact words:

"I've never used this on automotive work but I do it frequently when troubleshooting old pinball machines. a 100W 120V bulb in a porcelain base, with alligator clips to to hook it to the fuse holder. Works like a champ. Dead short = light bulb glows dimly and doesn't let the smoke out of the circuit."

(picture credit: me, because this is a method I successfully use on a regular basis)

I'm replying to someone who used a 12V headlamp bulb in a similar fashion while checking circuits in a 12V automotive system. I replied that I use this trick while troubleshooting pinball machines.

Pinball machines are not trucks.

If you don't care for me or anything I said, please try to find someone who cares, and complain to them.

TL,DR
Here we go again posting a 120v can't help O.P. suggestion.

Why are you continuing this? I gave you an out...

Would you believe, I think you're the first person I'll ever use the "Ignore" function on, at gmt400.com? Pat yourself on the back. Bye..

Thank you!

I just realized...you need to have the last word, huh?

You must keep missing the part where he said "I've never used this on automotive work but I do it frequently when troubleshooting old pinball machines" Pretty cut and dry that he uses the 120v bulb in a 110v setting and not 12v.

I can't believe this went on for this long

I know, right?
My first post was a half hearted attempt to understand his red herring post, knowing it wasn't a good suggestion from the start.

That guy really want to argue with someone or he is just pulling your chain ignore the guy, I used the light bulb trick before and it really works, in case of an emergency when there’s nothing else around but a light bulb and some wire, now if that guy wants to argue with me , just bring it on I am am an electrical engineer, I can explain him other tricks as a light tester but I will not be responsible if I make him cry once I get done explaining other ways to check for shorts or inverse groundings.
