Hi Corey,

A remark you made stood out for me so I wanna address it here! You said:

"Thanks @ElectroBoy and @rigtec ! I took the door apart and traced the wires all the way to the transition to the body without any loose connections. Indeed as @ElectroBoy noted, there appears to be 12v coming from both red and pink at the light fixture at this point."

Usually, whenever you see/find juice-(POS) coming from the NEG line... it's coming "THROUGH" your 'Load Circuit' on it's way to the ground pole, e.g. when you feed a lamp 12V, after it hits the filament, it still has yet to reach the GND while still HOT!

So whenever I need to cut a BAD/ Mis-guided GND circuit because the GND pole/junction has failed, and I can see where it's "supposed" to go, like an ECU, but I still have NO GND, when I cut that wire to re-route it to another GND point, I know I have to 'CAP IT' because "It's Still Live!" ...Follow...? "Best!"

rig!
