Great thread! Keep it going. Your daughter will be the smarter one as she gets older because of your involvement. She is getting hands on knowledge how parts go together and function. And hopefully watching on how you troubleshoot when parts are not working.
She will thank you if she ever steps into a repair shop/parts store alone.

That is the idea with this project, but ultimately with everything right? Teach them what we know so they are just as independent and capable as ourselves

At least it isn't the black box that is the '99+ lighting system, controlled by the gauge cluster, of all things (as are the headlight auto-off and a bunch of other things).

I did some wire cleanup today.
The previous owner definitely had some electrical done. I found what looks like previous splices for an alarm with an aux kill switch, and the truck had aftermarket aux lights at one point.
There were some wires that seemed like they were cut accidentally, Nothing spliced to them, just cut and reconnected. I even saw one with bare wire just hanging there lol
So I looked for all these mysterious cuts and found a couple that were not reconnected, I didn't have a wiring diagram for reference, so I just traced the wires to find it's matching colored end and connected them.
There were two red w/ white stripe wires by the driver kick panel that I reconnected. They both came from the wire loom coming from the floor.
Sorry I said I was terrible at electrical my description probably confused you more than anything, I don't know what I reconnected but the Dome light works as intended now which is great.
