There needs to be an Electrical section in the General Technical Forums. Many electrical problems are not model specific and would get more exposure and replies if in a general forum.

Sticky, maybe?
For some reason, I thought I saw one once, but I'm not finding it. Hallucination, probably.

I agree some things are very common.
I'm not sure it makes sense to have a dedicated Forum as most of what I read often comes down to trying to fix things on a specific model and I don't know if people will specifically go into another Forum to help?

BUT if we want to have a dedicated Sticky in General we can definitely do that, even if it's only as a starting point.

Yes, I think a sticky may make sense. It could cover common things like wiring sizes, sources for wiring and connectors, talk about grounds and relays, headlamp replacements, and many other subjects that are not model-specific.
