TIL a bad ground on a Garmin G1000 can hide as a random comms drop

Took me 6 hours to trace it back to a single corroded pin in the main rack connector. Anyone ever have a gremlin that simple waste a whole afternoon?

Worst part is you fix it and then second guess every other intermittent fault for months.

My old Ford Ranger had a check engine light that would come on every third Tuesday. Replaced the oxygen sensor, the whole deal. For the next six months I was convinced every little noise was the transmission falling out. It makes you paranoid. You start hearing problems that aren't even there.
