Back when we were daily driving 123s she managed to kill some of those too.

You need to get her a 300TD that will be immune to all that nonsense

Just from some quick research, it appears there is a body control module that
may have gotten fried. This is great.

Since she killed the air suspension on her GL somehow, she had to take the
truck this weekend to haul the enclosed trailer to her show. When she went to
leave, she had somebody hook up the trailer and plugged it in. She says a few
minutes later she notices smoke coming from the wiring harness at the trailer.
Somebody taped it up with duct tape but now she reports right turn signal not
working. She gets home and of course I have to back in the trailer. I
immediately notice an odd scrapping sound coming from the steering wheel that
has never been there before. After backing the truck in I unhook the trailer
and of course the ground wire is now bare all the way to the frame of the
trailer. I can tell much else with mess of duct tape but it somehow managed to
short at some point in the harness. The wiring where it starts going into the
channels back to the lights look fine so the short must be closer to the
connector. Regardless I am sure I will have to replace the end of the harness.
I was finished messing with it for the moment when I noticed as I was coming in
the house that the brake lights are on even with the truck turned off. WTF? I
pull the fuse and the rears go out, but the top mount one by the cab stays on.
I cant find a fuse that will shut it off. I got under the dash and unplugged
the brake lite switch and they still stay on. I am not sure if this 2002 is
new enough to have the lights controlled by a computer, or if this trailer
situation shorted out something in the truck. What I find odd is the truck has
fuses for the trailer lights, why didnt it blow? I sure hope I do not have a
major wiring problem now. It is unbelievable how this stuff happens seemingly
without fail when she drives a vehicle. She has another show next weekend.
Now that the truck is down, there are no tow vehicles left to tow her trailer
assuming I have time to fix the wiring on it. I guess if she wants to go to
this show bad enough, she can rent a vehicle of some sort.
