i bet half of those wires are no longer used.  There is no way to trace a wire in that maze to troubleshoot.  If a connection is loose or breaks, just run a new wire--leave the old one in place, since you don't know which one is the old wire.
Another bad connection, run another new wire---leave old one in place.  Before you know it, you can't see the sun and when it rains you never need an umbrella.

Ive seen guys do brake lines that way. Old one leaks, just dangle a new one in the same general area, and tie it in with a compresion fitting at each end!!

Very true, I have studied for my master electricians liscense, and alot of the requirements make no sense what so ever. Its just the rule. Some of them are common sense, like "dont put a plug in  in the shower" Duh, thats what extension cords are for,lol. As for the ladder and sandles, not big deal... he is wearing a helmet
