tail light issue on 2002 honda odyssey

That particular overhead install took me 2-3 hours not including the time it took to make the domelight connections, but I've had overheads that have taking me up to 6 hours. It really all depends on the car or truck. I just remove the necessary panels to get the job done and that could mean dropping down half the headliner or just a few panels. I've heard of guys who remove the entire headliner to weld support brackets but I have never done that myself. The visor is usually a panel I have to remove to run a/v leads. And I'm usually not is a rush. I always check for clearence. But like they say doodie happens.  I'm not denying I crunched a wire but I am still skeptical that the interior courtesy lights are on the same circuit as the exterior taillights. I've had Honda customers in the past with blown taillights and all the interior lights were still working. I do see how it can take a few weeks for a crunched/pierced wire to eventually short to ground or voltage, but still feel I was wrongly accused.
