DAE hate when a simple wire swap turns into a full panel pull?

Yesterday I decided to swap a bad VOR indicator on a King Air. Thought it'd be a 20 minute job. Turned out the connector pins were corroded and one broke off, so I had to pull the whole nav panel to repin it. Took me 3 hours for something that should have been easy. Anyone else run into this kind of hidden damage on older birds?

Ugh, that's the absolute worst when a quick fix turns into an all day project!

Heard a mechanic say corrosion is like a secret time bomb in avionics bays.

Honestly, "secret time bomb" is a bit dramatic for corrosion.
