And yes, a PO installed something earlier, not sure what exactly, there's 2 sets of wires, one goes all the way back to the rear near the splice made for the trailer lights, removed that, and another set that goes from the fuse block in the engine to under the dash. Both ends are disconnected from anything, I let that one be, I'll be using that wire to pull a feed wire into the cab for an amp once I get the electrical solid. I've been waiting to get this fixed so I can install a sub or two, but I'm not adding any more after market loads to the system until I'm sure the OEM electrical systems are all within spec. One variable at a time.
A PO also installed an aftermarket stereo, I pulled that a couple months back because it caused a short in fuse 14 circuit. That was a fun ride home at night with no dash lights... the guy didn't buy a harness, which isn't inherently bad, but he simply solder glued the leads together and wrapped it with a couple wraps of electrical tape. He clearly didn't plan on keeping the truck for very long, or he's never seen what electrical tape does after a couple years when it's not wrapped properly. Should've ripped it out when I saw the off brand Sears speakers he had in the front, but you live and you learn.
