Not blaming ERA as anything hand built is to be expected to have a random issue now and then. But from a lessons learned standpoint, especially if assembling your own car it is worthwhile to go through the entire wiring harness first and check the engagement of each pin/receiver and the wire color positions at each plug against their wiring chart.

I'll echo what Dan said about checking all the pins if you're assembling your own car. I was lucky to notice a wire moving when I connected one of the main wire harness connection blocks (it was backing out of the connector as I pushed the two sides together. I pushed it in and heard a click. I then checked all the other connections and found a couple more like that - can't remember the exact number at this point. Anyway, it only takes a few minutes to push on each wire in every connector before assembly to make sure they're clicked into position and can't back out.
