TIL I was crimping my alarm sensor wires wrong for 2 years

I was over at a buddy's shop in Phoenix last month helping him with a new install and he watched me crimp a wire. He pointed out I was putting the little tab facing the wrong way so it wasn't making solid contact. How many false alarms did I cause from those loose connections?

Oh man @the_jason, you're not alone in that. Did the exact same thing for like a year before a senior tech walked me through it at a job site. So many false alarms that I just blamed on "dust" or whatever lol. Glad I'm not the only one who's done this.
