I replaced all of the peanut bulbs in the headlights and
tail lights (168 bulbs I think). I noticed the driver's side brake light wasn't working. Decided to check the bulbs and found out all 3 bulbs on the driver's side were dimmer than the right. Pulled the bulbs to check them and found after removing the top bulb, all the running lights died... Found a bad repair on the body side of the harness and fixed it. Put the tail light in before testing (because that's how you fix things right?) Bulbs were still dim. It looks like somebody bypassed the connector ground wire all together previously and they didn't fix it after fixing it poorly on the body side of the harness (it pulled out and didn't have any heatshrink either). Anyways... wiring is fixed and all the bulbs are working again.
I glued in the mounting screws in the license plate bulb holder panel since they were all spun out of the housing and it was rattling like crazy. Also replaced the glass release button since it had already fallen apart.
Changed the oil with some Rotella and a WIX filter to see the condition of the engine. Not an abnormal amount of metal or anything.
Disassembled the driver's window switch to see if the contacts are dirty like some of the truck switches I've seen in youtube videos. They were not and my driver's window switch still doesn't work at the moment. I'm assuming the switch anyways. The motor works when direct powered. All of the other windows work with the driver's door switch... Still figuring out that one.
Installed a new rear wiper arm and cleaned off the motor splines after prying off the corroded old wiper lug.
I stapled the air box back together and knocked the dust off the old filter since I don't have a new one yet.
