It is not common at all but you have done everything already that I would have checked. I had one with the same problem and it ended up was a small leak at the windshield that kept leaking behind the panel and rusted out one of the plugs to the ECU, replaced the plug and worked perfect. Not saying that is it but easy enough to check.
All great advice. Like already said, learn everything you can, take notes. I have a notebook back from when I started and still go back to it occasionally because you can’t remember everything. I had small notebooks for the quick things to write down then a bigger binder at home to make a full description nice and neat, even organized with letter tabs for easy recall.
As said before, avoid the old (and some young) people that are not happy and try and take everyone else down with them.
Any information you learn can be expanded on, one guy might have a great tip on a subject and another guy has another tip, combine the tips together in your notes.
I have a tip on electrical diagnosis, saved me a ton of time, if you are chasing a wire in a bundle of 100 wires dont get overwhelmed, there are only 2 wires in that bundle you are looking for, ignore 98 of those wires. Simple thought but I have seen people open a bundle and go glass eyed when they handle all those wires.All great advice. Like already said, learn everything you can, take notes.

Never had a split flange fail me.

Exactly what wayne said, the only problem I have seen is people doing half the job. Not usually the customers fault, the mechanic or parts guy should warn people about extra parts needed to make the job complete.

am I reading this question wrong? It says to me that the lights stay on and the engine stays running with the key in the off position, the transmission does nothing. so power stays running in sides of the system and not available in other sides of the system. all after shorting the battery. Please tell me if I read that wrong.
