Yeah, we got advice on this base from another thread. You can see the BaseTubing image, the first picture, attached below

This is the current plan, I'll also double check the Teflon.

Fortunately, this is just our test platform. Unfortunately, it's not even fun diagnosing it right now. But the only way to learn is to do it wrong, and realize it's wrong. I hope there's at least one lesson learned about wiring here.

I attached a close up of the PCM but it's not really helpfu this is the second picturel. The BaseWiring (third picture) is the better picture. You can actually attempt to follow the wires.
