I was installing the correct dome light in my truck and with a simple slip of the fingers the wire fell down the rear of the cab corner and came out on the floor.
I vividly remember fighting this for days 15 years ago, I don't remember how I finally got it aside from the fight.
It is a standard cab truck with only a steel roof (it is a Custom) and no headliner.
I spent most of tonight fighting it, trying to ramrod it over with a piece of tubing, twine with a nut tied on the end (so it would pull it once it got over the hump) and new wire and no dice. Using the selfie mode with my cellphone and a penlight I can see there is quite a bit of structure up there to try to get through and it looks tight. Anyone have an idea?
