After watching a pro do it on the car, I assume things should go smoothly next time I need to do something like this again. Getting this squared away will surely feel like huge leeps with this car.

That being said I should fix these antifreeze leaks before he works on it. It sucks everything was fine with the antifreeze before I changed the thermostat. Wish I kept my grubby fingers off it
Forget all the hardcore ohm tests and phone calls. Simply pop off the wire to #8 at the plug and the cap. Pop off the wire to #6 at the plug and the cap. Switch wires. now re-attach the newly positioned wires. See if the problem traveled to #6. If it did, then you've got a bad wire, end of story!
