Thanks for saturation of confusement.
So, I guess hot wiring it is completely off the table, huh? :o)
Nope, I wouldn't try hot-wiring something that expensive. I'd get the right part.

I was clearing some trash land over near the church parking lot to plant the last 3 trombone squash, and looky what I found. It's a speckled king snake, about 2 ft long. After changing, I grabbed the camera to take a few pictures. These guys eat rats and rattlesnakes.
I'm all for having them on the property. I wish they wouldn't startle me when I pick up a piece of metal siding, though.
