    Run a temporary pair of wires outside the trailer from the other side. And then fix it proper after empty. But that would take responsible creativity on Love's side.

    Landstarve said Love's will eat a real mobile mechanic before the trailer goes back to the shipper.

    I guess that phone call inspired them cause the dude was able to fish the light out.

    However.......and this is the part The OM really likes..........dude promptly cut the old light off, losing the wires back inside.

    Easiest way is to back up to a dock, take a forklift and empty out the load. If not able to use a lift, get 4 or 5 hands to grab it with hand trucks.
    Did not know a light would go back thru the hole the wire came out of. (May be on to something here I can use in other applications...)

    After the difficult install, any chance it made the gauge work?

    Not sure . havent started engine up yet. I figure it was just the sensor. Because my oil pressure gauge would go from 100 psi to 0 back to 60 then down to operating psi at 38 or so.all within a couple seconds. Then it would go back to operating psi for hours.. Last load it stopped working all together so picked up one at peterbilt in ogden ut . And once i got the sensor out it was leaking oil between where the electrical part is molded onto the screw in part with the o ring.. And u could spin it around. Thats not supposed to do that.. I will test it tmrw and report back.
