Big trucks is what I know. HAZMAT is what I tow.
The wiring is cursed? Once a Terra Gator experiences supernatural phenomena, it’s tough to troubleshoot. The spirits use cursed energy, from that open circuit, to fuel their jujutsu. You might have to sacrifice a goat or something. IDK.

Just busting your balls. Welcome to the HEF.
What are you growing in SD? In Alaska, we grow barley, spuds, carrots, cabbage, giant pumpkins and weed. Tons of weed.

When I get stuck on an electrical problem, sometimes it helps to take the schematic and have it super-sized on a plotter. I’ll tack it up on the wall and highlight the circuit in question. It provides a new perspective.

Or, I’ll draw the circuit on the whiteboard. It allows me to focus. Instead of having the confusion of a full schematic.

You mentioned an open circuit. Now, it’s time to inspect all the connections.

I will use different colour high lighter pens to trace out the circuit. Typical the grounds can hide in plain sight and things can continue on different pages. The colours make it easier to follow. Good luck

Now I am hearing there may be some chickens in Alaska also. Is this true also?? Inquiring minds want to know.

At least three of them.

Interesting history nugget. Towards the end of the Taylor Highway, there is an old gold mining town named chicken. It got that name because nobody could spell ptarmigan
