Wondering the best way to label/keep track of wiring if I'm removing all switches ,sockets,etc from harness so I can dishwasher it? Obviously I will have s ton of pictures but does anyone go beyond this and label stuff somehow either on paper or physically? Trying to figure out the best way to do this for an easy reassembly
Quoted from Skins:I use either blue painters tape and paint pen or the electricians number book. I used to use a sharpie and painters tape but I had an instance where 50% washed off and and another 20% became nearly unreadable. Paint pens to come of as easy. Even in scalding hot ultrasonic water.
Yeah that makes me nervous putting anything hand labeled thru a wash.. will look into paint pens
Quoted from vid1900:3M Blue tape stays on in the dishwasher, no problem:

Read thru your guide vid, and now I'm rethinking this lol.. lead in the dishwasher.. hadn't realized coil dust had lead. I hate to spend 300 on a cleaver but I may do it. I know my wife would not be happy about the lead, as safe as I'm sure it is.
Ultrasonic cleaners - blue tape still ok with paint pens ... anyone know?
Thanks 
Radius118 ! Cutting all the switches sounds better than desoldering.. hadn't considered that. I'll have to run by Tacoma screw as well, they are just down the street from work.
Looking at cleaners.. 22L good size? Can I get away with smaller? Looks like it has to be connected to water possibly ?
vid1900 -- totally fair, just feels weird to use kitchen stuff for things I'd normally do in the garage or a shop. I'm sure it's fine, but it's probably s good opportunity to get a cleaner
Wow you write a novel radius!! Haha. thanks for all the info -- that's great! I was looking at that cleaner yesterday, probably going to be going with it. You didn't mean that things clean that quickly in there did you? I was thinking it took days of running it like a tumbler?
Another question -- is this dishwasher weird? I have double Wands that I assume both spin during cycles.. looks like the harness could get caught even if on top rack if I ran it in there.
