Default Bubba be gone

Someone needs to invent a bubba repellent that can be sprayed on cars to keep the ever lurking bubba away. Maybe ex-wife, jail cell, or emty beer can scented. :D While working on my blower fan switch I noticed two connectors not hooked to anything. I looked up the wires in my schematic and found they go to the power window relay which isnt there!!!!! :mad Bubba removed the relay (probably used it on his tv remote) and somehow bypassed the relay using house wire that is about five feet to long and two gauges to big. :mad :mad :mad To top this off I found the park brake cable going to the right rear broken and shoved up on top of the frame so it wouldn't drag on the ground. :crazy: well thats my vent for the week.
