Truck Issues

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

I pulled into the driveway a couple days ago, and my neighbor ran over to inform me that my reverse lights are constantly on. Sure enough, they were. The first thing I decided to check were the 7-pin connectors under the truck, that supply power to the 7-pin connector in the bed as well as the headache rack. I found that they were all somehow full of water. Looks like once I get everything fixed, I’ll have to do some additional work to waterproof them. But after a bit of diagnosis, I’m fairly certain that the issue is the fuse box itself. There is continuity between some of the trailer fuses where there shouldn’t be. I pulled off all the connectors and separated the wires at the back of the truck, so I know that those aren’t the issue. So that, really, just leaves the fuse box or maybe a BCM issue. I decided I’ll take it into the dealer and let them deal with it. Hopefully under warranty, but we’ll see since they can probably blame it on me somehow.

I also need to take it in for a recall (airbags) and will probably take advantage of one of the free oil changes they included with purchase while in there.
