I can problem solve and when it comes to visual stuff, like an engine, I can easily tear down and rebuild those. I can actually see the parts move and what makes them all work.

My problem is that I cant problem solve electricity. I have enough know how to go solder some broken joints or wires, (hell, I hard modded my playstation 2) but when goofy stuff happens and things start lighting up when they shouldn't I am lost. I can't pin point where the problem is based off of what is happening. I just look for broken stuff lol.

I got lucky. I looked at the wiring diagram and noticed one of the bulbs going into a wire that had a double quick connect on it for 2 wires and new I didn't have it hooked like that. Oh well live and learn! Glad I got it fixed, selling her tomorrow. I don't like selling people stuff with random hidden problems.

 

Yeah - I'm the same way - it's like my brain is rendering part interractions in a virtual space. I've tried to explain it to other people and they just kind look at me funny...then they ask me if I can fix whatever it is we're working on.
