Wondering if anyone would have any insight into this. I noticed tonight my gearshift, headlight switch, 4WD knob, steering wheel controls lights arent illuminated. All switches function properly. Does this sound like a fuse for lights?

Hey everyone, today I installed my electric fan(no wiring yet), throttle body and spacer, put the gas tank back in with new pump,fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, installed new bbk underdrive crank pulley with new original crank pulley(they bolt together, I’m assuming to keep the damper), put hose clamp on rad hoses, installed transmission cooler line bypass kit, and a couple other little odds and ends. I’m pooped.

I added MagLite Brackets to the tailgate so I could mount my Braun UnderHood LED worklight https://www.harborfreight.com/845-Lumen-Underhood-Rechargeable-Work-Light-63990.html from Harbor Freight which I use as scene lighting during investigations, have used it as whole room lighting as well during outages or no power scenes also.

I had been carrying it loose for a long time and then realized when I had taken my mag lite brackets off of the car door that they would fit the tube diameter of the work light.

Now not only is it removable from the truck, but in the tailgate open position is a perfect worklight when attached to the tailgate as well.

In the process for smaller size maglite brackets and only required 1 to relocate my tactical handlight up on the center console as well.

Spring cleaning & flushing of the underside of the 2014EL. Removed the homemade plugs from the rocker panel inside holes and flushed them out with the garden hose. Pretty clean and still oily inside this year! Removed spare for cleaning access. Spare was well coated with oil and black road dust with zero rust. It will never rust with that coating. Laid underneath and hosed off everywhere I could spray. I would say the Krown Oil treatment & Fluid Film protected it quite well. Still quite oily in areas. Underside is in great shape for being 5 years old in WNY.

What did you plug the holes with? The rockers were replaced on the current rig so probably a good idea to keep the water/salt away.

I cleaned her up and gave her the first good coat of wax. Acres of paint - I'll sleep well. I don't know why the dealership didn't give her a good coat of wax before delivery, but oh well. It gave me some time to inspect everything and find neat details.
