Groan...
I try to not rag on paid members too much, but God damn it, some of them like you need a nice eye opener now and then. There's a new one to spoon feed every other day, it seems.
It's not a matter of being an internet badass, it's a matter of members becoming sick and tired of jackasses like yourself who only come here to get answers. Paid membership or no, it doesn't entitle you to have someone drop everything they're doing so they can help your lazy, incompetent ass. It's called a "community" for a reason. It's not called a "free information, drop everything to help me because I demand this of you" place.
I'd be careful whom I annoy on these here forums if I were you. You see, someone in your position, someone who doesn't have the common sense God gave a retarded ferret, shouldn't make "enemies" of people who know more about Mark VIII's than you'll ever comprehend. Because when you do, all you're left with is the Search function. And since you're too God damned stupid to properly use it, well, then you're stuck with asking. Problem is when people don't like you, you might as well ask the pet mouse in your pocket.
Telling members here to go copulate with themselves is not the brightest and best way to get help in the future. The "internet badass" you're referring to has torn enough Mark VIII's apart to likely tell you what color a certain electrical connector is, or what that one wire color goes to. He may be a dick, but he does know his Mark VIII's. So check your attitude at the door.
Sure, you'll luck out now and then with nice people like Brentalan who will spoonfeed you the information you're too dumb to gather for yourself, but people like him are far and few between. Furthermore, you annoy the "regulars", even the nice "regulars" who would have otherwise helped you will read the post containing your next problem and move along. Remember, the InterwebZ have a long memory.
You say you searched and found this thread? I find the timing of this unlikely. You saw the thread title and your 3 brain cells fired, telling you to click on the thread title. Of course, you can argue this fact, but I know better.
And ohmmeter wouldn't do jack for you in diagnosing your problem. Wanna know why? Of course you do. Much easier than trying to educate yourself. I would tell you, but like a lot of people here, I don't like spoon feeding ungrateful, entitled mentality brats like yourself.
See ya next time you have a problem. Pray I don't see your thread, because I do know how to use the search function and will post a link to this thread with posthaste. That way, the nice people who would have helped you out will see your piss poor attitude and move along.
Now, you can (and likely will) write a nice, in-comprehensive rant to what I told you. That's fine by me. You're not the first and you won't be the last. This I will tell you and save you from searching.
Now, sod off.
