I've got a short in the wiring harness to the lighting control module in my 98. The short causes the courtesy lights to come off and on while driving and activates the door locks too. It's kind of like a haunted truck when you're driving at night. Anyway, my hands are all scratched up trying to reach it from beneath. I can just get my finger tips on it but can't really work on it like this. I tried taking all the front parts off but still can't get to it.

Is removing the whole dash to get to the wiring harness a big job? I wondered about the air bags and stuff.

Thanks
