09 3v power loss "cured" with 5w40

Update:

Truck died, dash lit up light a Christmas tree, No connection to anything.

Found an issue with the transmission plug. . . This might have been causing some issues. . . . All of the insulation is flaking away like someone sprayed it with something that cause the insulation to become brittle. I only ever use electrical cleaners on and around wires so I hope it wasn't that. . .

Now I need to find someone who has another one on hand.

Interesting, could it be all the Arizona heat cycles and dry air destroying the plastic in the connector like that?

Think it was something I sprayed on it to clean it. Maybe I grabbed the wrong can of cleaner when I did the bulkhead sleve, I don't know.

I tore out the harness and repaired it and now its back up and running. Liquid tape, heartshrink solder splices. Replaced a blown fuse and it works. Found that I have some pretty severe resistance on the front wheels when its in the air, need to look into that a little more.
