Came to the aid of a used car lot to figure out why this vehicle won't start. They had swapped the Front Sam and it did not help of course. We began testing, they disputed our testing and had me go down a bit of a rabbit hole and had me second guessing myself at first but I was on the trail.

There was water in the driver's floor board and we discovered a huge problem that needs addressed. More follow up checks will be needed but we likely won't be seeing this car again.

That 'Thingy whatjumacallit' 🙂 is a 'Power distributor connector, like a roundabout or an intersection main Gateway, all communications come and go from there through the Can Low and can hi, there are 2 Parallel 60 Ohm resistors in that block assembly so if 1 Can system gets shorted or open circuit and you measure with an Ohmmeter you will read 120 Ohms, it should only read 60 Ohms if the integrity of the circuit is good.
