Old timer at the Anchorage hangar told me to always bench test a Garmin G1000 display before install, even if it's new out of the box.

My A&P instructor called that the "no surprises" rule for a reason.

Why does nobody talk about how much simpler alarm jobs were with just wires?

Honestly, the battery issue gets me. Like @stone.thomas said about placement, but even a good spot fails when the cheap wireless sensor battery gets low. It doesn't just die, it sends weird signals that trip the alarm. So you're changing batteries constantly instead of just having reliable wires.
