I've got a Dodge Ram 2500 Project i am working on and am hoping for a tip or two. I bought a 2014 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi heavy duty at an auction without a bed. It was originally sold as a bed delete and not just a removal. I found a bed to go on it but the wiring on the bed delete is different so i had to splice for the Tail Lights, backup lights etc. instead of plug and play harness. one of the questions i have remaining is about the wiring for the bed lights and switch. On the Driver side, there is a wire hanging down from the switch and a wire hanging from the bed light and on the passenger side a wire hanging down from bed light. I would like to splice into the tail lights so that if headlights are on, i can push switch and bed lights turn on but i am confused on the wiring. assume i splice into switch wire... then is there a hidden wire to bed light? and the hanging light wire needs to jump all the way across to passenger light wire? otherwise, im not sure how it could be supposed to work. is my desired splice doable?
Second question i have, the fuel vent line that runs from the filler tube is held on with little U shaped clips. The clips are very brittle and fall apart in your hands when you unclip the vent line. parts guy at Dodge is unable to answer my question about ordering replacement clips. Either they are DUmb(possibility) or they think you will replace entire filler tube for 75 bucks everytime you unclip the line. An online search finds postings where people have taken Dorman Clips for Gm ford and filed them down too work but im not sure what needs to be trimmed as the one i have is in pieces. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix the broken clips without buying entire filler tube? Tips on trimming the Dorman Clips?
