You forgot one very BIG, IMPORTANT step when welding on the car(or was this
not on the car?  I guess I missed out on whether it's on the car or off.)


__Unplug the ABS Unit__ (!!)

This could be a $1000 mistake.
Unplugging the ECU(esp when welding near an ECU input, ie, OXS) would
probably be a good idea, as would the airbag harness; read the Bently on
doing this.  There is a WRONG way to do this(<BOOM>) or a right way(No
<BOOM>.)
