Electrical CheckList

Well after learning from this year that quickly checking over electronics is NOT a good Idea. I was thinking that I should make a checklist for whomever is inspecting the electronics. Do you guys have Ideas on what to include on this checklist?

Here is a start

All wire gauges are correct
correct breakers are in place
check all power wires for any frays
check all wires going to and from the C-Rio for frays and shorts
All debris is free of the electronics "area"
everything is grounded correctly
Battery terminals are shielded (tape or heat shrink)

Digital SideCard

All pwm are in the right orientation
correct jumpers used
all connectors are correctly placed and in the right orientation
no loose metal/debris around/in the Digital SideCar...

This is just a start so please any help will be appreciated... I will publish the final list when it is completed
