Sitting back and doing nothing today. I thought what a waste of a day. So I decided to go and clean inspect as many electrical connections I could find on my truck. Well worth it.
Cleaned up the connections with WD40 and tooth brush, thoroughly dried, and used dielectric grease. Cleaned the wires and harnesses the best I could. Unwrapped all of the
splices from the PO which happened to be my Dad. Resoldered if I needed to. and used heat shrink if possible I hate electrical tape. and rewrapped the harnesses with harness tape.
Might be my imagination but the lights seem brighter and truck seems to run better. So it wasn't a wasted day after all.

Re: Cleaned up Electrical Connections
A project worth doing. My Dad passed 5 years ago and I still find myself redoing a lot of his do's for my Mom. We all do things different. 
May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
