About 116 for mine at idle, about 80 degrees ambient. The truck was not driven before these temps where taken so they may be low.

 

Oh hell....I was looking at the wrong line.

My supply is the hot one, not the return.
The return is fairly cool, but the entire supply line is pretty hot. Is that good?

 

replaced the driver's side axle shaft, so she's driveable now

 

My buddy gave me his trailer wiring harness off his 99 1500. Got it installed and the reverse lights are still coming on with the brake lights. Hmmm...

 

^check all the grounds RR. Sounds like you are missing one - had the same thing happen.

 

There is only one ground that I disconnected.... well 2 actually. The I ne that goes to the trailer harness (which has no effect on anything but the trailer side) and then the bed to cab ground. Its all tight and grounded properly

Any other sections to check?

All fuses that deal with that stuff are good. So im at a loss.

 

What year is your truck? Same year?

 

Sounds like a shorted bulb socket. Are they all in good shape? With someone holding the brake pull out one bulb at a time and see if the reverse lights go off.

 

Truck is a 2001. Harness is the same from 98-2004

 

The sockets are in good shape so far as I know.

How would I go about replacing the socket? Just splicing in a new one?
