Faulty 3 Wire Waterproof Pigtail Connector

Out of curiosity who was the supplier?
Have you chopped the pigtail up to see exactly where the short is?
The very 1st pigtail T that I got I metered and it had a short and I've never used a T as a result.
 
Should I admit that I have NEVER tested a single pigtail lead or T piece that I have ever soldered into place? and I have used over 50 of them and not a single issue :) maybe I just ruined my streak and should test them all in the future.

I've never tested a pigtail and never had a fail. The only thing I've ever tested is 1 T and that was a fail. I'm probably at about 300+ pairs of pigtails in use.
 
I've had a bad pigtail. Now I always give it a quick buzz test to make sure its ok
 
I have had three faulty ones out of about two hundred. Open circuits, rather than shorts.
 
Not sure about dodgy pigtails so far but I have had 1 or 2 bad T-piece connectors.
I do usually test pigtails for continuity and shorts before first use (more so to check my wiring!)
 
I test all of them now , I've have have short between signal and +ve and also crossed over wires in connector (most common fault) 4 faulty ones in probably about 80 sets
 
i have had 2-3 3 pin pigtails that have had crossed pins, but that was a couple of years ago now.
