Ditto, we made that mistake a couple of years ago and then got hit with it again this year (by a different team member who got excited and in a hurry as well). Triple check EVERY single wire no matter who is trying to push you faster. When they do politely ask if they are willing to purchase the new jags out of their personal account if something gets fried...
