    I had that switch go bad on me a few years back. Short circuit killed all the power in my cab. Dealership had to troubleshoot and it cost me hundreds. Thanks for documenting this on the board for posterity.

    Sweet man! I'm glad you properly diagnosed the issue and didn't throw parts at the issue and hopefully didn't chase unnecessary elec Gremlins.

    A 27mm oxygen sensor socket works the best because of the limited room up there and the slot in the socket accommodates the wire pig tail on the sensor. Maybe vatozone rents those?

    I’m hoping so. Hell, I could do it in the parking lot in 30 seconds.

    Had to pay $20 for a damn 27mm wrench from Ace. Will be promptly returning.
    Anywho, all is well again.
