    I never fixed mine yet either. I found a big silver box behind the Speedo but no bad wires that I could find.

    Is this box you're talking about inside the cab or under the hood on the firewall?

    Firewall on the outside towards the bottom where the left front steer tire throws everything on it.

    looks like there are some more wires in there that may be rubbed thru in that cluster

    I fixed the obvious 2 wires ( 1 I had cut already and the bare one ) and checked the one right behind the thick white wire and it is just marked on the skin from the other bad wires ??
