    Tonight I went out to the truck, unlocked the doors and opened them... And the dome lights didn't turn on. I checked to see if I had bumped the switch and it was set correctly. I flipped it into all 3 positions and couldn't get the lights to turn on with the switch or the doors. They still work when you push the actual light. Wtf? Has this happened to anyone else?

    There's a fuse for just the switch? The lights themselves still work. It's bizarre. I'll have to check it in the daylight.

    There's peppermint rodent spray you can purchase to douse engine wiring with.

    Many manufacturers are now using a soy based coating on the wiring in order to be more environmentally friendly.

    Rodents find it delicious.

    Went out to the truck this morning and it worked fine.


    Falls down a well, eyes go crossed. Gets kicked by a mule and they go back straight. I dunno.
