    You may want to check your cabin and firewall ground points to be sure there isn't any corrosion.

    Yes if it were me I wouldn’t spend time chasing individual electrical issues until I refurbished the all ground points. There is a factory chart somewhere on here for all ground points. You’ll pull out all your hair chasing gremlins otherwise

    Yeah good point. OP’s pictures didn’t make it seem like that side was deep enough to hit the ecu, but maybe the perspective is off in the pic. bad ecu would be a high dollar replacement for the 4x4 ecu though, I’d chase grounds and all else before touching that

    Hopefully it doesn’t rain tomorrow. I’ll be on it if the weather cooperates. And probably if it doesn’t. Gotta get her running right. No two ways about it. So happy she was running so so so happy. as always thank you everyone, enjoy your evening .

    Gotta get some coffee in me and make a grocery run. Then back at it.
    Do you all have any alternatives to 82122-04052? Wire harness is ungodly expensive. 572$ and total of one in the lower 48.
