Where were they during the last ice age when the ice over New York was 2 miles thick?

Yet Another Fog Light Thread
If you have a fog light relay in the PDC and the wires and plug are at the head light switch then may be the connectors for the fog lights are all ready behind the bumper and its plug and play. Have you looked behind the bumper and under the radiator core support?

Head Leak
What he said. The only legal spray brake cleaner in California is non-chlorinated.

Head Leak
I would use the ultra gray. I've made an oil pan gasket for a Mitsubishi truck with the gray. The owner sold the truck 5 years after I rebuilt the engine and it didn't leak a drop. Do like dripley said and GET IT CLEAN ; the sealant will no stick to metal contaminated with oil. Clean with mineral spirits then spray with brake cleaner. Ultra black is a good sealant that I use as a thin coating on certain gaskets.

Yet Another Fog Light Thread
The brown with yellow tracer (BR/YL) wire in the bottom photo is the ground wire that goes into the headlight switch for the fog light relay in the PDC. The Black with orange (BK/OR) wire next to it is the ground for the head light switch.

Need a sanity check.. changing careers
You bet I get ammo along with TVs, no recycling fees, and solvents like MEK and xylene. Also 12 OZ cans of 134A refrigerant with no $10/can deposit. California government puts a $10 core charge on every can and will gladly keep it if you don't return the can in 90 days. Is that where you found your outfit?

Dash Indicator Light Replacement
I've seen manufactures use parts from the previous year to use up those parts then change to new style. The fuse is there to protect the wire between the load and power source. Since the load is diminishing you can leave the 5 amp fuse in. Think of it this way, there is a 20 amp circuit in your house (12 AWG) and you will only have a 60watt light on that line. Would you go and replace the breaker to 15amp? No.

Miss and long-term Park vehicle.
I had rabbits and mice eating the wire in the engine compartment of a Volvo stored here for my granddaughter. I did two things: first i sprayed the engine compartment with a light mist of Critter Ridder, next I propped the hood open just 3½" with a piece of 2X4 on it's side. No more problems. The Critter Ridder smells like cloves. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Havahart-Critter-Ridder-II-32-oz-Ready-to-Use-Animal-Repellent-3145-2/206051392?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-B-F_D28O-G-D28O-28_1_CHEMICALS-NA-NA-NA-SMART-NA-NA-SMART_SHP&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D28O-G-D28O-28_1_CHEMICALS-NA-NA-NA-SMART-NA-NA-SMART_SHP-71700000059845719-58700005436056249-92700049554889054&gclid=CjwKCAjwlYCHBhAQEiwA4K21mx13bq8emmHeVXhQuiIyb_mjog2rCOhXzDXftsrymSvS1PjyHM9lEhoCkkUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Miss and long-term Park vehicle.
Remove the dog house and inspect for rodent damage; they love to eat vacuum lines and wires. High idle no more than 2k RPM. How much fuel additive do you add each time with the gallon of gas? How big is the fuel tank? Can you pump out all the fuel in the tank, say 5gal. at a time, burning the old fuel in the car then fill then fill the RV with fresh?

Turn the Key to start = Zap, nothing!
I'd check: power from the left battery to the PDC in the PDC check fuse #2 (30 amp) and #10 (50 amp) power in (pink/black and red wires) and out of the ignition switch connector C134 under left side of dash.

Massive Oil Leak from Driver Side of Block.
12 gallons is 3 oil changes so hold on to that oil. It has a shelf life of 5 years before the additive package goes bad and the price of oil is only going to go up. Glade for you that it got sorted out. If anything, you got intimate with your truck, did some major work along with rust prevention and found 5 out of 6 mechanics can't diagnose an oil leak.
