[FC] My turn in the barrel

Bob, I recently went through the same problem on my Rampside. I found that
there seems to be a strain on the rear harness going to the right tail light
right at the point where the head temp. sending unit wire and the ignition
wire going to the coil come out of the harness. After years of heat and of
course age the wires break down and crack. Best fix is to replace the
harness, but I was able peel back the tape and splice new wires into the
existing harness. All is working well right now.
