Hey take the drivers side sill plate off and get to the wires that run in there
Find urself 3 purple wires that run into a union going towards the front of the truck
The union will just look like heat shrink .
Now when u find it you'll have 3 wires going towards the rear of the truck and at the union 1 running towards the front .
In the union the wires might be corroded
I had some of the same symptoms and that's what I found .
Repaired that and everything works as it should now
Good luck

Bringing this back from the dead.

Crazy_moh, DOHC-Bird, anyone else

Were these wires under the metal guard thats under the drivers sill plate? In the wire loom underneath? If so, I assume you had to crack open the loom.
Or were they in front of the metal guard behind the drivers kick panel?
I have the exact same sypmtoms, Im just trying to pinpoint the same purple wires so I can check mine.
