Hi Guys,
I gave the truck an early Christmas present and removed the grill and resprayed it black(looks good), but when I removed the indicator/parking light lenses, I noticed that the wiring where it comes through the front panel had signs of wear on the insulation.
Now this was on both the driver and passengers side, so it might pay for all you GQ/Maverick owners to remove the lenses from the grill and check all the wiring as it could be a potential shorting problem. I actually had bare wires showing but luckily nothing was shorting out.
I just thought I would mention this as we only spot these things when a bulb happens to blow.
