Thanks Neil. There actually isn't much mud there anymore, so it shouldn't be
too bad aside from finding the time to do it. I don't have a voltmeter (yet),
so it'll just be the test lamp. If it's the connector that's bad, anyone know
if I can get just that from the dealer, or anywhere else? I would prefer to
keep the wiring clean.
I checked the fuse and obviously, since the right light works, it's good and the
contacts are as well.
You will keep finding mud for a long, long time.
Time and a half this weekend? I'm salaried. No extra pay. They'll feed me,
and I might swing leaving early a few times w/o hassle in later months, but
that's about it.
