Just wasted half a day on a mislabeled wire diagram | Elevator Mechanics

Followed the print exactly and still got a short. Now I have to redo the entire control panel.

Totally feel your pain on that one. I once wired a whole motor starter from a diagram that had two terminals swapped. That kind of mistake just creates so much extra work.

Why does one wrong line on paper always mean a full day of extra work?

Good grief, mislabeled diagrams are the worst. I had a similar thing happen with a car stereo wiring guide. The power and ground were reversed in the print, so I blew a fuse and had to redo the entire dash. It turned a quick job into a two-day nightmare.
