People are out there crabbing in January? I would not have expected that...

I've got an Elite 9-Ti that I've had a lot of touchscreen issues with over the years as well... In the end I finally figured out that every time there's been a problem it's almost always because the ground connection had loosened. Might check into that. Was a big headache for a long time for me.

No problem. Like I said, I didn't know anything about any of this when I started my rewire. Now it all makes perfect sense. Just paying it forward!

+VE/-VE is just shorthand for "Positive"/"Negative".

+VE (Battery) are your positive wires going from your panel directly to the battery. The red rectangles on there labeled 15A are the size of the breakers/fuses required to be inline on each of those wires for your panel (I think you said these ...

Good luck!
