LOL...a very dangerous situation to find yourself in...
I bought a waterpump that unfortunately must've been a return as when we got home and opened it up, the connections showed clearly it had been previously installed. My worst fears were realized as I tried to hook it up anyway. It was dead.
Returning to the store with a $160 credit coming my way, we perused the isles...ended up spending $250 anyway...
I had that item in my cart too...it got pruned at the checkout lane.
