Story: When I was working in the Hyundai plant, a Korean engineer was futzing around in the driver's seat, messing with the cluster of a new car, I don't know why. But he was leaning in to focus on the cluster. Another Korean guy was farting around under the hood with the main wiring harness. I was standing outside the car on the passenger side sort of watching them all. The steering wheel airbag deployed and the guy in the driver's seat was decaffeinated.
A 3rd Korean outside the car sort of jolted back a step and to this day, I remember the phrase he said. He said, "bulhaenghan il-igun-yo..." I never knew what that meant. Then he pointed at the guy under the hood and grunted out some more Korean that I don't remember, while working his hands around in front of him to the point I could tell he was telling the guy under the hood to put all that chit back together. Then he grabbed the guy's head from the rear seat and walked into the office. I had to go finish a powerpoint about a whole lot of nothing garbage that had zero value, so I went and did that. That's the last I heard about it. So ... there ya go! That's a story.
The moral of the story: Never ever disconnect any wiring, ever. True story, aka fact yo.
