Getting a silent panel to talk with a multimeter check
I was working on a new install and the control panel stayed quiet. I almost thought I had a bad unit. Then I remembered to use my multimeter on the data wires. I found a low voltage reading at one connection point. After securing the wires, the system came to life right away. It felt great to solve it without a callback. What's your favorite troubleshooting step?

My multimeter skills are so bad I once checked for voltage by testing my own finger. I spent ten minutes convinced a live wire was dead because I had the dial set wrong. Nothing beats that click when you find the real problem though, right? What’s the dumbest mistake you’ve made that still got fixed?
