BIG TIP: don't over-torque the T3 screws on the connector covers. it's super easy to strip the screw heads.
kinda long winded, check the timestamps
little tip: don't be too afraid when unclipping the bottom cover. It's just a U shape metal wire that's held down by plastic and the open ends clip onto a post.
I nearly flubbed this one. a little more complicated than the switch lol
