One step forward 10 back! Haha


Does the truck have a trailer plug? My wagon has one. One of the times I actually used it, the wiring on the trailer was bad, so, each time I hit the brakes, my dome light came on.... shock The harness on the trailer was pinched between its fender and frame rubbing the wiring bare.

Maybe something similar is going on with yours (minus the trailer)? Something not spliced together correctly, or a spliced joint failing?

Just a WAG.....



It does have trailer wiring but it's disconnected. Looks like the drivers front tire blew and since there was an accident on that side, the wiring is fubard. Near as I can tell, everything is connected correctly. I'm thinking of just buying a whole new harness and dropping it in. That may be the best/easiest solution.
