    Short of popping fuse panels and finding the right one(there's two fuse panels on this truck, one below the bunk, the other below the steering wheel, but couldn't locate the power windows/locks), does anyone else have a creative way of disabling the buttons? I'm trying to keep my cat from stepping on the switches and running off.

    We have the same concerns with our beagle and someone suggested getting a light cover any placing that over the buttons taping it down so our dog can’t unlock the truck if we were eating or showering somewhere. I thought that is a pretty good idea we just haven’t tried it yet.

    So your cat does not like being in the truck?

    If you really love it, set it free.

    You could probably find something like posterboard or even some really thin MDF. Cat would have to be pretty big to bend that.

    I once saw a truck parked at a rest area and dude had a cat that was almost as big as the windshield when it was standing on the dash. Looked like a baby cheetah or something, which it couldn't possibly be, could it?. Either way I bet he didn't argue with it when it wanted out.
