Hello,
I recently got into an accident that led to my rear driver side brake light assembly getting tore outta the body. Upon inspection and prep to replace the assembly, I noticed more wiring than I would've expected, including a fuse. Is this normal?
I tend to go thru an alternator and battery yearly and have begun to suspect my truck has an electrical gremlin or two, so I'm curious if this is a potential culprit. The truck is completely stock as far as I know. Nothing is connected to the battery except the main battery cables. I know the first owner used to tow it behind a camper so maybe all this was to hook up lighting and blinkers. I dunno.
