There was a documentary on last night about pilots.

They couldn't take off as the seat belt light system wasn't working, they went through all their procedures, restarting the system. Pilot ending up calling the aircraft engineers back in the uk, who advised checking the fuse. A few seconds later they reset the fuse and all was good.

Our brains are seemingly programmed to overlook the obvious in times of stress :grin:   

We've all done it!  Can't see the wood for the trees.

I remember the engine not starting once on a previous car.  Got all panicky as it was a daily and it was getting late.....  just about to throw the towel in and call my boss to say I wasn't coming in the next day......girlfriend walks out and casually says, "Is this [fuel line] supposed to be connected to something?"  :grin:

Little tip is always take a photo of the fuse box before you do anything, that way you can always refer to it before work began. Most people have a camera on their phone.      :happy2:
